Netflix’s Fear Street trilogy brought R.L. Stine’s frankly underrated horror books to life with a story that spanned decades. We went to Shadyside, a cursed town with a long history of murder and mayhem until Deena Johnson finally freed them from this horrible cycle in 1994. Like Goosebumps, the Fear Street books were an anthology series that told many spooky stories, so fans were hopeful that the trilogy’s success would lead to more adventures. And we know more about when that’s going to happen. Fear Street will return to Netflix with a fourth installment titled Fear Street: Prom Queen in 2025. The streaming service and R.L. Stine confirmed the release window via social media and there’s so much to look forward to.
First, this film is going to take us to Shadyside High School once again for a brand-new and dark story. Here’s a quick synopsis for the upcoming Fear Street film from Netflix:
Welcome back to Shadyside. In this next installment of the blood-soaked Fear Street franchise, prom season at Shadyside High is underway and the school’s wolfpack of It Girls is busy with its usual sweet and vicious campaigns for the crown. But when a gutsy outsider is unexpectedly nominated to the court, and the other girls start mysteriously disappearing, the class of ’88 is suddenly in for one hell of a prom night.
As evidenced by its title, this film will draw specifically from the 1992 book The Prom Queen. That story lines up pretty closely with the above synopsis, so we will see how it plays out in live-action. A new cast will take the lead of course, but there’s a small chance that we will see familiar characters make cameos, too. Christine Berman and Nick Goode were around and likely in their 20s at the time and that would tie the story somewhat into the events we saw in 1978 and 1994.
Sadly Leigh Janiak is not back as a director this time. Matt Palmer will direct this new movie.
What Is the Release Date for Fear Street: Prom Queen?
Fear Street: Prom Queen will hit Netflix sometime in 2025.
