The Release Date is finally set. Five Nights at Freddy’s is ready to scare up some fun at home and Movie Theaters. Fans can expect it on Peacock and in theaters in October.
Universal Pictures made an ambitious announcement regarding the Blumhouse-Produced adaption of the popular horror video game series, set to premiere in theaters and on the studio’s streaming service on October 27th, 2023.
Five Nights at Freddy’s is directed by Emma Tammi (Into the Dark and The Wind) and is produced by Jason Blum and Scott Cawthon. Bea Sequeira, Russell Binder, and Christopher H. Warner serve as Executive Producers. The film also stars Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Lail, Piper Rubio, Kat Conner Sterling, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Matthew Lillard, as well as animatronic designs and technology by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop.
It has become a tradition for Universal Pictures for a studio to have a day-and-date release for their horror line. This marked the third time Universal Pictures has set up a hybrid debut for a Blumhouse production in October. For example, Halloween Kills (2021) and Halloween Ends (2022) landed on Peacock the same day they debuted in Theaters. Five Nights at Freddy’s is set to premiere in theaters and on the studio’s streaming service on October 27th, 2023.
Based on the video game franchise created by Scott Cawthorn, Five Nights at Freddy’s was first released in 2014 and quickly rose to massive popularity. There are a total of nine video games that take place in locations connected to the main game, which include spin-off games, a novel trilogy, and an anthology series.
