Netflix released one Fear Street movie a week for three weeks in 2021. The trilogy was inspired by R. L. Stine’s "Fear Street: 1994", "Fear Street: 1978", and "Fear Street: 1666", but were not based on any specific books written by Stine.

The giant streamer confirmed back in November that a standalone Fear Street movie was in the works, and that this time, the movie will be based on a specific book.

“Obviously, there’s a lot of books,” Netflix’s Head of Film Scott Stuber previously told Collider. “There’s one standalone that we’re working on right now that we’re once again trying to get the script right, but I like it very much, and so does the team. So I feel like if we can get that script right there would be a great kind of extension of that franchise.”
