Christopher Landon and Peacock discuss plans for Happy Death Day 3
Christopher Landon, the talented director behind the beloved films Happy Death Day and Happy Death Day 2U, has been quite vocal about his desire to create a third installment in the franchise. He even had a title picked out: Happy Death Day to Us. However, despite the financial success of the first two movies, the third one has yet to materialize.
In a recent interview with SFX magazine, Landon shared some interesting insights into the potential future of Happy Death Day 3. According to him, there were discussions about turning the movie into a three-part streaming event on Peacock, which is pretty exciting news for fans of the franchise. However, those plans seem to have fallen through, leaving the fate of Happy Death Day 3 up in the air.
Landon has been candid about the challenges of getting the third movie off the ground. While the second film did well, it didn’t quite reach the same level of success as the original, leading to some hesitancy from the studios involved. Despite these setbacks, Landon remains hopeful that Happy Death Day 3 will see the light of day.
In addition to the potential Peacock streaming event, there have also been talks of a crossover between characters from Happy Death Day and another Landon-directed film, Freaky. While this idea sounds intriguing, Landon has clarified that it’s just a fun concept for now, with no concrete plans in place.
For now, fans will have to wait and see if Happy Death Day 3 ever becomes a reality. The prospect of a three-part streaming event on Peacock certainly sounds enticing, and hopefully, we’ll get to see Tree Gelbman’s time-loop adventures continue in the future.
