Regarding the possibility of a third Happy Death Day film, writer and director Christopher Landon has stated that he "definitely [has an idea for] the third movie in [his] head", while producing studio head Jason Blum has said that if "enough people see this movie, we're gonna make a third movie, we want to make a third movie".[1][2] In March 2019, following the film's less-than-projected box office gross, Blum said a third film was "not very [likely] but not impossible".[3] In July 2019, Landon confirmed that a third film is not in development.[4] In August 2019, Landon stated he had an outline written for the third film and believed he would eventually share it in some medium, be it another movie or not.[5] In February 2020, Blum said that while other studios would have cancelled a follow-up to Happy Death Day 2U following its financial underperformance, a third movie "is still on my radar in some shape or form".[6] In June 2020, he later clarified that he was hard at work to get a deal done to make the movie.[7] In September 2020, Landon confirmed a third film to be in active development with Jessica Rothe reprising her role, tentatively titled Happy Death Day to Us.[8] In November 2020, Landon stated that the script was ready to go and was awaiting approval from Universal Pictures.[9] In an interview with Screen Rant in February 2023, Landon confirmed he had pitched a third film.[10]

By March 2025, Landon stated that the greenlight for the project was ultimately up to the associated studios, while stating that at one time the companies had wanted to created a three-part limited series that would be released via streaming exclusively through Peacock. The filmmaker also acknowledged that he had not yet written the full script as he would only do so once the studio officially announces the movie.[11] The following month, Landon and Jessica Rothe jointly announced that the third installment was officially moving forward.[12] By May 2026, Rothe stated that work on the script has continued, while acknowledging that all creatives involved are determined to ensure that it is a quality installment.[13]
