However, there’s still no official release date.“This is the most precious script I’ve written for many reasons, but it’s also the most challenging,” Leone explained. “There’s a lot of material to tackle and a lot riding on this one, not just creatively but emotionally.“We’ve built something special together over the years. The cast and crew who have been here since the beginning deserve a finale that honors their dedication, and the fans who’ve championed this franchise deserve something unforgettable.More like thisOpen Back Headphones: A Sound Experience Like No Other“In all honesty, I’m thrilled with the way it’s turning out  and confident it will deliver. I will officially announce when the script is complete on my social media pages which also means we’ll be moving into pre-production. If you don’t see it coming from or confirmed by me, then it’s not official.“Thank you for your patience. I promise it will be worth the wait!”It’s worth noting that Leone calls Terrifier 4 the “finale” here, confirming plans to end the franchise with the fourth entry.Terrifier began life in full-blown movie form in 2016, and revolves around demonic serial killer Art the Clown. 2022’s Terrifier 2 was a box office success (check out IGN’s Terrifier 2 review here), and Terrifier 3 followed in 2024, bringing in even more money from theaters (here’s our Terrifier 3 review).Wesley is Director, News at IGN.
