"Insidious 6"Gets New Release Date; Amelia Eve Joins Cast and Lin Shaye Returns

Lin Shaye and Amelia Eve are set to star in the next Insidious movie from Blumhouse and Sony Pictures’ Screen Gems and Stage 6 Films. 

Jacob Chase is directing off a script he wrote with David Leslie Johnson. 

Principal photography rolls next week in Australia for an August 21, 2026 theatrical release.

The plot, like most Blumhouse horror movies at this stage, remains under wraps.

The pic is produced by Jason Blum, Oren Peli, James Wan and Leigh Whannell, with executive producers Ryan Turek, Steven Schneider, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Johnson.

This next chapter comes in the wake of the massive success of 2023’s "Insidious: The Red Door," which became the highest-grossing film in the franchise, earning nearly $190 million globally. Since the franchise’s debut at the Toronto Film Festival in 2010, "Insidious" has become one of the most successful horror series of all time, grossing more than $740 million worldwide. This year’s TIFF marks 15 years since the original film’s premiere.

Shaye starred in various Farrelly Brothers comedies including "Dumb and Dumber," "Kingpin" and 'There’s Something About Mary" and transitioned into horror, appearing in "A Nightmare on Elm Street," "Critters," "2001 Maniacs," and the blockbuster Insidious franchise, where she became the face of the series and a genre icon.

She has also starred in such independent films such as "Room for Rent" and produced and acted in "The Call".

On TV, Shaye appeared in Showtime’s "Penny Dreadful: City of Angels" and won a 2020 Daytime Emmy for "Eastsiders". 

Eve can be seen in a leading role in Sebastian Gutierrez’s "Leopard Skin" opposite Carla Gugino which is now streaming on Peacock. 

The actress is known for her breakout role in "The Haunting of Bly Manor" on Netflix opposite Victoria Pedretti, created by Mike Flanagan. 

She previously starred in "The Blind" for producer Brittany Yost and director Andrew Hyatt which is now streaming on Netflix. Her previous work includes the BBC 3 comedy series Enterprice and indie feature "Big Boys Don’t Cry".
