Overview
- Jessica Rothe said in a new interview that she and writer‑director Christopher Landon recently met and now have a plan to pursue a third Happy Death Day film.
- Rothe added that Landon has crafted what she called an “incredible” ending designed to close out the trilogy.
- Both say they will do the development work themselves to present a package the studio views as a no‑brainer, and they acknowledge no film has been approved yet.
- Industry context may shape the decision, as the 2017 original earned about $125 million worldwide while the 2019 sequel made about $64 million, which Bloody Disgusting notes as a potential hurdle.
- Landon previously floated Happy Death Day to Us as the working title for a third entry, and Rothe is keeping a horror presence with her new film Affection as she pushes for the sequel.
