Regarding the possibility of a third Happy Death Day film, writer and director Christopher Landon has stated that he "definitely [has an idea for] the third movie in [his] head", while producing studio head Jason Blum has said that if "enough people see this movie, we're gonna make a third movie, we want to make a third movie".[1][2] In March 2019, following the film's less-than-projected box office gross, Blum said a third film was "not very [likely] but not impossible".[3] In July 2019, Landon confirmed that a third film is not in development.[4] In August 2019, Landon stated he had an outline written for the third film and believed he would eventually share it in some medium, be it another movie or not.[5] In February 2020, Blum said that while other studios would have cancelled a follow-up to Happy Death Day 2U following its financial underperformance, a third movie "is still on my radar in some shape or form".[6] In June 2020, he later clarified that he was hard at work to get a deal done to make the movie.[7] In September 2020, Landon confirmed a third film to be in active development with Jessica Rothe reprising her role, tentatively titled Happy Death Day To Us.[8] In November 2020, Landon stated that the script was ready to go and was awaiting approval from Universal Pictures.[9] In an interview with Screen Rant in February 2023, Landon confirmed he had pitched a third film.[10]
