What do you want for Christmas in 2027? The correct answer is: a mogwai. Just, be sure to follow those rules. Because it looks like, at long last, the Gremlins will be returning to the big screen for a long-awaited third entry, with heavy-hitter talent on board. Across the years, there have been several reports of Gremlins 3<\/a>, which have never come to fruition: but this latest development has come with the greenlight from Warner Bros Discovery boss David Zaslav, indicating a solid likelihood of fresh festive mayhem.<\/p>\n

As reported by THR, the third Gremlins film will be produced and directed by Chris Columbus \u2013 who penned the original film<\/a> for director Joe Dante. Steven Spielberg will be an executive producer too via Amblin. Columbus is coming off the back of his Netflix<\/a> adaptation of The Thursday Murder Club<\/a>, which was also an Amblin production. The script is being penned by Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, who wrote Final Destination: Bloodlines<\/a>. A date has been set for Gremlins 3, expected to arrive in cinemas (perhaps even crashing a screening of Snow White) from 19 November 2027.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, no details have been confirmed \u2013 it\u2019s unclear whether original star Zach Galligan will return, or if the film will introduce a new generation cast. It will be the first Gremlins film since 1990, when Gremlins 2: The New Batch<\/a> escaped captivity. In the meantime, two animated season \u2013 Gremlins: Secrets Of The Mogwai and Gremlins: The Wild Batch \u2013 arrived on HBO Max, released in 2023 and 2024 respectively.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more Gremlins 3 details as the film moves closer to production \u2013 and spend the next two years brushing up on those rules: never feed them after midnight, never get them wet, and don\u2019t expose them to direct sunlight. Or, for the sake of cinematic fun, do all of the above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What do you want for Christmas in 2027? The correct answer is: a mogwai.
