Article Summary

  • Rumors about Happy Death Day 3 surge again, but there's still no official update on the film's status.
  • Jessica Rothe says the third movie's story is ready; making it is a matter of logistics and timing.
  • Director Chris Landon and Blumhouse both remain passionate about completing the Happy Death Day trilogy.
  • Despite mixed feelings about the sequel, fans and cast remain eager for Jessica Rothe's return as Tree.

Happy Death Day 3 is always alive in our hearts, but sadly, not a reality. It feels like every spring, when the flowers bloom and the temperature starts to go up, the rumors start again about the third film in the slasher/time-traveling franchise. Star Jessica Rothe was interviewed by Screen Rant and, as always, asked about the third film. "The truth is, Chris Landon — our brilliant, fearless writer-director — he has the whole third one figured out. I think, at this point, it's just logistics. All I'll say to you and to all the fans is, whether it's next year or when I'm 65, pulling a Jamie Lee Curtis coming back for Halloween, I will be there to finish Tree's story. It's just a matter of when they get all their ducks in a row."

Happy Death Day 3 Was Even Rumored To Be A TV Show At One Point

Landon has said as far back as 2020 that he and Blumhouse have wanted the third film to happen: "[Happy Death Day To Us] is definitely off to the side at the moment. I wish it wasn't, and I know that [Jason Blum, producer] is passionate about it, I know I'm very passionate about it, and I know that [Jessica Rothe is really eager to do it as well. I wrote the idea for the third movie some time ago. I think we're all excited by it, because it's different than the other two films, and so we're really just crossing our fingers and hoping that our fanbase continues to grow – which is something that I've really enjoyed watching over the years, seeing more and more people discover both films. So who knows. There might be a time when it makes sense, and hopefully, it's sooner rather than later."

While I fall into the camp that didn't like what they did with the second film, I would welcome a third, if only because I think Rothe is one of the best young actors in Hollywood and we need to see her onscreen more often. She elevated those films to a level they would not have reached without her, and a return to the Happy Death Day universe with her back would be welcome.
