The anticipated release for FNAF 3 is projected for 2027.
While some fans are enthusiastic about the 2027 launch, others express apprehension due to competition from major releases like Avengers: Secret Wars and Sonic 4, both scheduled for the same year.

The Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise is currently generating buzz as significant updates surrounding FNAF 2 and long-awaited details about FNAF 3 emerge. Recently, set photos for FNAF 2 have surfaced online, further fuelling excitement among fans.

This live-action film series, based on the widely popular game designed by Scott Cawthon, debuted its first installment in October 2023. Although the initial movie garnered a mixed reception with just a 32% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it achieved an impressive 86% audience score, indicative of its strong fan following. Die-hard supporters welcomed its faithful representation of the game’s storyline, marking it as a success and paving the way for future installments, including the upcoming sequel later this year.

According to a prominent fan account dedicated to FNAF news, Blumhouse is scheduled to commence filming for Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 in mid-2026, following the premiere of FNAF 2 in December 2025. The source suggests that the filmmakers are eyeing a release in late 2027. Despite this promising information, they cautioned fans to remain skeptical, as the details are still in preliminary stages, and changes may occur.

In previous statements, actor Matthew Lillard, who plays a pivotal role in the franchise, indicated that he had entered into a three-picture agreement with Blumhouse and Universal, reinforcing the likelihood of FNAF 3’s production. Fans rejoiced at the balance of horror and humor exhibited in the first movie, with nostalgic 1980s music enhancing the viewing experience, making it both thrilling and enjoyable.

Fans are buzzing about the upcoming sequel, especially following recent leaks showcasing images from the set, including a new pizzeria sign that has excited the community.
