James Wan Joins Forces With Blumhouse for Paranormal Activity Revival
A fresh chapter is brewing for the Paranormal Activity series, with a new producer stepping in. Find out what’s changing behind the scenes and why horror fans are buzzing.
There’s no keeping a good ghost down, and it seems the Paranormal Activity franchise is set for another round. This time, the team at Blumhouse Productions is shaking things up by bringing in James Wan, the bloke behind The Conjuring and Insidious, to take on producing duties. Jason Blum is sticking around as producer, and Oren Peli, who kicked off the original, is also back in the mix.
New Faces Behind the Scenes
At this stage, there’s no word on who’ll be writing, directing, or starring in the next instalment. That’s pretty much par for the course with this series, which has a bit of a habit of giving unknown talent a go, both in front of and behind the camera. It’s a move that’s worked before, so no surprises they’re sticking with it.
Franchise Still Going Strong
The last time punters got a look at the franchise was with Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin, which landed on Paramount+ back in 2021. Since then, things have been quiet, but the return of some familiar names behind the scenes has fans keen to see what’s next. The series has always managed to keep audiences on their toes, and with Wan now involved, expectations are running high for a fresh take.
What’s Next for the Series?
There’s been no official announcement about the cast or creative team, and details are being kept under wraps for now. Still, the involvement of heavyweights like Wan, Blum, and Peli suggests the franchise is in safe hands. Whether they’ll stick to the found-footage style or try something new remains to be seen, but horror fans across Australia and beyond are sure to be watching closely.
