Renny Harlin’s "The Strangers" trilogy crashes into its final act with "The Strangers: Chapter 3", and the first look at the new trailer hints that the tables might be turning… violently. With a release date of February 6, 2026, you have a few weeks before the film drops to get ready for this bloody conclusion. The film is rated "R" so we hope to see some chaos along with the bloodshed.
Madelaine Petsch returns as Maya, looking battle-worn but unbroken, and the trailer teases something unexpected: our final girl slipping into the Pin-Up Girl mask, maybe embracing the killer side of survival. Chapter 2 left fans dangling with a post-credits tease, and now it seems Maya’s revenge fantasy might be more literal than anyone anticipated.
According to the official synopsis:
“Maya faces the masked killers one last time in a brutal, full-circle reckoning of survival and revenge.”
In other words, don’t expect polite knock-knock antics this time.
(Madelaine Petsch as Maya and Gabriel Basso as Gregory in The Strangers - Chapter 3.)

Harlin, whose résumé includes "Die Hard 2" and "Deep Blue Sea", returns to the director’s chair, working from a script by Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland. Joining Petsch are Gabriel Basso (Super 8), Ema Horvath (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power), Pablo Sandstrom, and Richard Brake (Barbarian).
The trilogy was shot back-to-back in Slovakia in 2022, with the sequels later receiving additional photography to sharpen the scares. Courtney Solomon, Mark Canton, Christopher Milburn, Gary Raskin, Alastair Burlingham, and Charlie Dombek produce.
