When David Gordon Green and Danny McBride kicked off production on 2018’s “Halloween,” the duo had already thought about shooting a pair of films back-to-back but they ultimately decided to wait until the first film came out to discover how audience felt about the movie before shifting gears into a sequel.
Once “Halloween” opened to rave reviews and became a box office smash, producer Jason Blum gave the greenlight on not only a second film but a third in the series to complete a new “Halloween” trilogy. Green and McBride once again teamed up on the script with all of the cast from the 2018 film signing onto return for the sequel.

Sadly, the global pandemic shut down those plans so only the sequel was filmed after production started in late 2019 with the film then set for release in October 2021.
