During the 2010s, Blumhouse\u2019s The Purge<\/a>\u00a0series came out a reliable clip, and even had a TV show<\/a>. It seemed to have wound down with 2021\u2019s The Forever Purge<\/a>, but since then, creator James DeMonaco has decided there\u2019s at least one more story to tell in that universe.<\/p>\n

While doing press for his new horror movie\u00a0The Home<\/a>,\u00a0DeMonaco told Bloody Disgusting<\/a>\u00a0he and his wife wrote a\u00a0script together that\u2019s now in the hands of Blumhouse boss Jason Blum. He didn\u2019t give the whole game away, but teased it would bring back \u201csomeone who I love and I think the audience loves,\u201d likely referencing Frank Grillo\u2019s Leo Barnes, the Punisher-esque lead of The Purge: Anarchy\u00a0and\u00a0its direct follow up,\u00a0Election Year,\u00a0but was nowhere to be found in\u00a0Forever.<\/p>\n

And as far as new material goes, DeMonaco added the script introduces \u201csome really amazing women. We\u2019ve had some great women in the past, but real warrior women come forth here in a way that we haven\u2019t really explored on Purge night.\u201d Of the whole script, he called it \u201ccool and fun, and I hope they like it. We\u2019re hoping next year would be great to shoot, maybe the end of this year if timing works out. But now it\u2019s with the powers that be, so we\u2019ll see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

If a sixth\u00a0Purge\u00a0gets the green light, it\u2019ll be coming at the right time. There\u2019s a lot going on in America<\/a> for it to satirize, and Blumhouse could use a potential pick-me-up after its last few movies<\/a> this year came out to more muted reactions than expected. But the real question is, is it possible for this movie to come out before\u00a0GTA 6?<\/p>\n
