Insidious 6 Director Revealed Following Release Date Delay

It appears that Blumhouse has selected an appropriate filmmaker to take over from Patrick Wilson as the director for “Insidious 6“. The upcoming movie was initially planned for a 2025 premiere, but it seems there’s been a change in schedule and we can now expect it to hit theaters on August 21, 2026.

In addition to Insidious 6, Blumhouse Productions is also working on a new Insidious spin-off titled “Thread: An Insidious Tale,” which was initially announced in 2022. Since 2023, Mandy Moore and Kumail Nanjiani have been connected to the project as its leads. In this upcoming film, they are set to portray a married couple who journey through time to prevent their daughter’s demise. As of now, no release date has been scheduled for the movie.

Who is the Insidious 6 director?

As reported by entertainment journalist Jeff Sneider, director Jacob Chase is currently in talks to direct Insidious 6, produced by Blumhouse and Screen Gems. Details about the storyline and characters of this sequel are being tightly guarded. In addition, Chase is anticipated to take the helm for Bad Boy, an upcoming horror film that will feature Ke Huy Quan, a past Oscar winner, in his debut villain role.

If Chase’s agreement is finalized, he will take over from Patrick Wilson, who previously directed Insidious: The Red Door in 2023. Despite the movie receiving mixed reviews, it managed to become the highest-earning installment of the franchise yet, raking in over $189 million at the global box office.

Back in 2011, I found myself completely captivated by the beginning of a chilling franchise known as Insidious. As a fan, it was directed by the talented James Wan, and trust me, it was a smashing hit! Critics and viewers alike couldn’t get enough, showering it with generally favorable reviews. The box office echoed this praise, raking in almost $100 million.

This success didn’t just revive the careers of Wan and writer Leigh Whannell, but it also propelled Blumhouse Productions to new heights. As a fan, I can’t wait to see what they bring next!
