Paramount dates 'Longlegs 2' for January 2028 MLK weekend

One month after acquiring rights to the untitled sequel, Paramount Pictures has set Osgood Perkins' next 'Longlegs' film—reuniting him with star Nicolas Cage—for theatrical release on January 14, 2028, during Martin Luther King Jr. weekend.

Paramount announced Monday that the follow-up to Neon's 2024 horror hit 'Longlegs' will arrive in theaters on January 14, 2028. The project, which Paramount picked up last month, currently has no revealed plot details. The only other film dated for early 2028 is an untitled Disney release, as first reported by Deadline Hollywood. Paramount has a strong track record on MLK weekend, with recent hits like 2022's 'Scream' ($33.8 million opening) and 2024's 'Mean Girls' ($33.6 million). The studio's holiday record is 2008's 'Cloverfield' ($46.1 million). The original 'Longlegs' generated a cult following and substantial profits for Neon.
