Well, the rumors are true: The Purge franchise, which was originally set to conclude with 2021's The Forever Purge, isn't dead after all.
In an exclusive interview with Bloody Disgusting, James DeMonaco, the creator of the long-running series, revealed that he and his wife have co-written a surprise sixth film – and that it's already in the hands of Blumhouse boss Jason Blum.
"I just finished a script. My producer, Sébastien Lemercier, has read multiple drafts, given me notes," he explained to the publication. "I'm really happy with it. I hope they like it. I think it's cool and fun. We're hoping next year would be great to shoot, maybe the end of this year if timing works out. But now it's with the powers that be, so we'll see what happens."
When we last saw the former LAPD sergeant, he was protecting Elizabeth Mitchell's senator and anti-Purge campaigner, Charlie Roan. Turns out, Roan's entire family were killed during the events of the 2013 original, so she vows that if she's sworn in as president, she'll put an end to the annual crime and murder-filled extravaganza – a proposal that enrages those who profit from the Purge.
