I Saw the TV Glow Director Teases Next Movie as Hybrid of 2 Projects

Jane Schoenbrun‘s I Saw the TV Glow has been hailed as one of the best films of 2024, and at a recent Q&A session, the director teased what to expect from her next movie with two very unique comparisons.

What did Jane Schoenbrun say about her next movie?

Speaking during a Q&A session at a showing of I Saw the TV Glow (via film critic Siddhant Adlakha on X), Schoenbrun said that her next movie, titled Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, is in the works. She also described the film as “Portrait of a Lady on Fire set in a Friday the 13th sequel.”

Schoenbrun didn’t dive into the film’s plot too much aside from that, but in a previous interview with Filmmaker Magazine, she did say that the movie would be “all about sex,” specifically learning about sex after transitioning.

“My next movie is all about sex––essentially a movie about learning to enjoy sex after transition,” said Schoenbrun. “Pre-transition, it wasn’t that I was asexual––I had plenty of desire––but having good sex in the wrong body was impossible. What was available was full dissociation, which is obviously a theme in the first two films.”

In a profile in The New Yorker, the movie is said to both “honor and critique” the serial killer genre, hinting that the movie will be a slasher of some sort. Schoenbrun’s I Saw the TV Glow released earlier this year via A24, and was a success both critically and at the box office, where it earned $5.3 million.
