Nearly five years after the franchise's previous attempt to return to the screen, a new Paranormal Activity movie is officially in development.

The Hollywood Reporter has brought word that Paramount Pictures is reteaming with Blumhouse for a new Paranormal Activity movie. In addition to the indie horror studio, who has been with the franchise since its inception, James Wan has come aboard through his Atomic Monster production banner, which merged with Blumhouse in early 2024. Wan wrote about his joining the series in the following statement:

James Wan: I’ve been a huge admirer of Paranormal Activity since the brilliant first movie, with its creeping slow burn and subtle ability to make the unseen terrifying. I’m looking forward to expanding on its legacy and helping shape the next evolution of this scary found-footage franchise.

Jason Blum also released a statement celebrating the announcement of the new Paranormal Activity movie, describing it as a "rebirth of the franchise that started it all for Blumhouse," while expressing his excitement for Wan to have a hand in the production. After quipping about the change in budget from the original movie's shoestring figure, Blum also shared his eagerness to reunite with Paramount for the film:

Jason Blum: I’ll be actively involved with [James] to introduce this new chapter. Thankfully, we’re able to spend a little more than the $15,000 we had on the first movie, but one thing will remain the same — do not see it alone. We look forward to partnering with Josh Greenstein, Dana Goldberg, David Ellison, Jeff Shell and their teams at Paramount as we bring Paranormal Activity back to life.

Greenstein and Goldberg, Paramount's co-chairs, also responded to the film's development with their own statement, expressing on behalf of the studio they are "thrilled to reignite the iconic Paranormal Activity franchise with two of the horror genre's most visionary talents" in Blum and Wan. They also singled out Blum for his "role in shaping this franchise into a global cultural touchstone," while being excited to see him partner with "James' singular taste and track record for innovative storytelling."

Paranormal Activity is a highly influential horror franchise that began with the 2007 film of the same name, created by Oren Peli. The series is renowned for its use of the found-footage style, focusing on various families haunted by a demonic entity named "Tobi." The franchise's success lies in its minimalistic approach, using low-budget production techniques to deliver maximum scares. Over time, the series expanded its mythology, exploring the origins of the hauntings and the demonic entity that stalks its victims.
