"Gremlins 3" Coming to Theaters in 2027

Warner Bros. is officially reviving the “Gremlins” franchise after more than three decades, with a new installment set to come into theaters in November 2027.

The film has been added to the studio’s release schedule for November 19, 2027, David Zaslav, the CEO and president of Warner Bros. Discovery, revealed on Thursday’s investor call.

Steven Spielberg is returning to executive produce “Gremlins 3” while “Harry Potter” filmmaker Chris Columbus is set to direct and produce, Zaslav confirmed.

Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein will co-write the screenplay, with Kristie Macosko Krieger and Holly Bario producing for Amblin Entertainment alongside 26th Street Pictures’ Michael Barnathan and Mark Radcliffe.

All other details, including a plot description and anyone starring in the film, have yet to be disclosed.

The original “Gremlins,” which famously led to the creation of the PG-13 rating, was released in 1984 and directed by Joe Dante with Columbus penning the screenplay.

The film follows a boy named Billy who receives a cute, furry creature called a Mogwai as a pet. Billy is warned to never expose the animal to bright light, water or to feed him after midnight. After those rules are broken, the gremlin spawns more of its kind and end up wrecking havoc on Billy’s hometown during Christmas.

“Gremlins” was a box office hit with $212 million dollars worldwide. The sequel, 1990’s “Gremlins 2: The New Batch,” was less successful with $41 million but became a cult classic.
