We’re heading back to Fear Street with another R.L. Stine adaptation.
Netflix announced that Fear Street: Prom Queen is soon heading into production with an all-star cast. Matt Palmer is directing the film from his script, which he co-wrote with Donald McLeary.
The horror streaming film will include Katherine Waterston (Alien: Covenant), Lili Taylor (Mystic Pizza), and Red Rocket breakout star Suzanna Son. The other cast members are India Fowler (The Nevers), Fina Strazza (Paper Girls), David Iacono (The Summer I Turned Pretty), Ella Rubin (The Idea of You), and Chris Klein (American Pie).
The original R.L. Stine story follows another horror-tinged adventure in Shadyside, Ohio, where prom season at Shadyside High is underway, and the school’s wolfpack of It Girls is busy with its usual sweet and vicious campaigns for the crown. But when a gutsy outsider is unexpectedly nominated to the court, and the other girls start mysteriously disappearing, the class of ’88 is suddenly in for one hell of a prom night.
The film comes after the July 2021 event when Netflix released the original Fear Street trilogy was released over three consecutive weeks. It was entirely new for the streamer to try this, and it paid off, with the films spending 12 collective weeks on the Netflix Top 10.
There’s no set release for Fear Street: Prom Queen.
