Remember those mischievous little creatures that caused so much chaos? Well, get ready, because “Gremlins 3” is officially heading back to the big screen! Warner Bros. has just confirmed that the highly anticipated sequel is set to land in theaters on November 19, 2027. This is huge news for fans who’ve been waiting for the return of these iconic characters.
Original Creators Reunite for “Gremlins 3”
What makes this announcement even more exciting is that some of the original creative minds behind the beloved franchise are returning. Steven Spielberg is back on board as an executive producer, bringing his legendary touch to the project. Plus, Chris Columbus, the brilliant screenwriter who penned the original 1984 classic, is set to direct and produce.
The big reveal came directly from Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav during a recent investor call. He confirmed the studio’s commitment to bringing back this fan-favorite franchise. The script is being penned by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, with Kristie Macosko Krieger and Holly Bario overseeing production for Amblin Entertainment, alongside Michael Barnathan and Mark Radcliffe from 26th Street Pictures.
A Look Back at the “Gremlins” Legacy
The original “Gremlins” movie first charmed (and terrified!) audiences back in 1984. It introduced us to the adorable Mogwai, Gizmo, and the hilarious, often disastrous, consequences of breaking a few simple rules. The film was a massive surprise hit, raking in over $200 million worldwide.
Its success was so significant that it even played a role in the creation of the PG-13 rating! While its 1990 sequel, “Gremlins 2: The New Batch,” might not have matched the box office numbers of the first, it certainly gained a cult following and remains a fan favorite for its wilder, more comedic approach.
What to Expect from the New “Gremlins” Adventure
Jesse Ehrman, Warner Bros. Pictures’ president of development and production, shared the studio’s excitement: “Few titles are as beloved and iconic as ‘Gremlins,’ and we’re beyond excited to bring it back for both lifelong fans and a whole new generation.” He added, “It’s a privilege to be working alongside Steven, Chris, and the entire creative team.”
While the 2027 release date is set and the creative team is confirmed, specific details about the plot and casting are still being kept under wraps. We can only imagine what kind of hilarious and chaotic adventures Gizmo and his kind will get into this time around!
