Jordan Peele is not only a master of horror but also a master of enigma. The horror director and producer caught many fans attention with Us, Get Out, and Nope. And, he still has us in his hooks with Him, a football-centric film he’s producing starring Marlon Wayans. That film is set to hit theaters in September 2025 but it seems there’s yet another Jordan Peele project on the rise. We know absolutely nothing about it except one thing: It’s coming just in time for Halloween 2026.
And, in classic Peele fashion, he will not reveal a single detail about it until he is good and damn ready. Jimmy Fallon tried in a recent interview and didn’t get very far. Fallon questioned Jordan Peele about his 2026 movie and tried to get him to reveal something about its title, cast, premise, or if it had already been filmed. Peele stayed jovial yet mum about it, saying “Yes! Let the mystery swirl. You’re not getting anything out of me tonight, Jimmy! What could it be? Where could it be? Who could it be?… I’m gonna keep everybody in a painful suspense. Trust me, it’ll pay off…”
Jordan Peele posted a message on X (forever Twitter in our hearts) with a photo that has nothing but the date October 23, 2026. Maybe it will be called Her…
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the upcoming 2026 Jordan Peele film is on Universal Pictures upcoming slate. There is no title nor any details but fans are speculating quite a bit already. Is it Candyman 2? Maybe. He’s known for promoting all things under Monkeypaw Production’s umbrella, whether he is directing it or not.
Maybe it’s a quirky Marvel film or The People Under the Stairs remake that is supposed to be in early stages of development. Who knows. We will have to wait a long time and see what Jordan Peele has coming our way with this mysterious 2026 movie.
