According to a new report from Jeff Sneider, the planned Insidious 6 release date has been delayed. However, the film is still in development at Blumhouse.

Insidious 6 still in development despite reported delay

Despite the delay, Sneider’s report notes that the movie is still in development. It’s unclear if the Insidious spin-off movie, Thread: An Insidious Tale, is impacted by the delay, or whether or not that project will be impacted at all.

The last film in the universe, Insidious: The Red Door, was released on July 7, 2023. Wilson, Rose Byrne, and Ty Simpkins returned to the series for The Red Door. Wilson also stepped behind the camera for his feature directorial debut. On a budget of $16 million, Insidious: The Red Door became a huge hit for Sony, grossing $189 million worldwide.

The Insidious franchise launched in 2010 with director James Wan and writer Leigh Whannell. The first film spawned two direct sequels and two prequels. The franchise’s films include 2010’s Insidious, 2013’s Insidious: Chapter 2, 2015’s Insidious: Chapter 3, 2018’s Insidious: The Last Key, and 2018’s Insidious: The Red Door. The five films have combined to gross over $730 million worldwide.
