“Eight-hundred and fifty-eight days,” whispers the dead girl from The Ring. That’s how long we have to wait for Jordan Peele’s secret new joint, according to a cryptic graphic of a date that the filmmaker posted on social media. The horror aficionado’s fourth directorial effort will arrive on October 23, 2026, just in time for the Halloween box office. Outside these logistical matters, the project is so shrouded in mystery that the only thing we do know is the release date. The title, cast, synopsis — heck, even the genre — sit right outside our sight, waiting to jump-scare when Peele yells, “Action!” What we do know is that the film was supposed to be released in December 2024 but was pushed back two years owing to last year’s Hollywood strike. Well, the delayed film did give him a way to freak out audiences until we learn more about the movie. There’s nothing scarier than the unknown.
