Get ready to get scared again. Fear Street is coming back with Fear Street: Prom Queen and this is what we know so far about it.
When the Fear Street trilogy first came out in 2022, the movie franchise entertained and frightened the world. The Fear Street cast was filled to the brim with talent, and the scares were reminiscent of some of the best horror movies ever. People began wondering if we were ever going to get another Fear Street movie, possibly a sequel or something else.
Well, our questions have been answered because Fear Street: Prom Queen is confirmed. This is what we know.
What Is The Fear Street: Prom Queen Release Date?
There is no set release date for Fear Street: Prom Queen at the time of updating this, in October 2024.
Netflix has had a packed slate of movies this year, and with no word yet on when this new Fear Street movie will come out, it might be safe to assume that Fear Street: Prom Queen will release as part of the 2025 movie schedule.
The Fear Street: Prom Queen Cast
While we might not know the release date of the new Fear Street movie, we do know who will star, thanks to an announcement from Netflix’s Tudum in March 2024. This is who you can expect to see in Fear Street: Prom Queen:
India Fowler
India Fowler will appear in Fear Street: Prom Queen. The young actress has appeared in television shows like The Nevers and Man vs. Bee and also played a role in the miniseries, Safe.

David Iacano will appear in Fear Street: Prom Queen. In the last few years, Iacano has made a name for himself when he played Cam Cameron in the hit Amazon Prime TV series, The Summer I Turned Pretty, which scored a third-season renewal.
However, the young actor has also appeared in shows like The Flight Attendant, one of the best original shows on Max, and Grand Army.
The actor also appeared in the horror film, Cinnamon.

Chris Klein will also appear in the upcoming film. He’s mainly known for his role as Oz in the American Pie cast but has appeared in various movies, including Election, The Good Life, The Competition, and more. He also appeared on the TV series The Flash, among other shows.
Lili Taylor
Lili Taylor is confirmed for the new Fear Street movie, as well. The actress has been in the business for decades, but has recently appeared in various TV shows that you might recognize her from. These include Perry Mason, Outer Range, American Crime, Almost Human, and many more. She’s also appeared in various films like The Conjuring, To the Bone, Eli, Leatherface, and others.
Katherine Waterston
Katherine Waterson is also confirmed for Fear Street: Prom Queen. The actress has also worked in the industry for decades and has appeared in films like Michael Clayton, Steve Jobs, Logan Lucky, The Current War, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and more.
Ariana Greenblatt (Reportedly)
While this hasn’t been confirmed yet, OneTakeNews in March 2024 reported that Ariana Greenblatt was on the set of Fear Street: Prom Queen in Toronto. Greenblatt has appeared in films such as Barbie, Borderlands, 65, and more. We’ll have to wait and see if she is confirmed to be part of the cast.
None of their character names are confirmed, but I can tell that this cast will rock this movie.
What Is Fear Street: Prom Queen About?
So, we have a killer cast – what is the plot of this new Fear Street? Luckily, Tudum has us covered.
According to the film's official synopsis, we’re going straight back to Shadyside in the 1980s during prom season at Shadyside High. The IT girls are all competing for the coveted crown of prom queen, but things start to take a turn when an outsider is nominated for the chance to win.
Not only that, but every possible IT girl begins to be taken out by a mysterious killer, causing this prom night to turn into a bloody one.
I’m sorry, but this already sounds like some of the best 1980s horror movies, and I am so down to watch it.
Fear Street: Prom Queen Is Based On The R.L. Stine Book, The Prom Queen
While the original trilogy of Fear Street movies was based on the novels by R.L. Stein, Fear Street: Prom Queen is a direct adaptation of a Fear Street book from the author. He confirmed the news in a Twitter post in January 2024, announcing that the new movie would be about Fear Street: The Prom Queen.
Many people know about R.L. Stein from his famous book series, Goosebumps, which received not only a well-reviewed movie duology but also a pretty great Goosebumps TV show on Disney+ (and the older Goosebumps television series). However, Fear Street is another popular franchise, and The Prom Queen is one of the best.
The novel's premise is the same as the one of the movie, so I think we’ll be getting an accurate adaptation here.
Matt Palmer Directed
Tudum also told us that Matt Palmer is directing Fear Street: Prom Queen. Leigh Janiak directed the original trilogy, but Matt Palmer is taking the reins of this film. He also co-wrote the script with Donald McLeary.
Palmer’s credits include directing and writing Calibre, and working on various shorts.
Production Has Wrapped
We know that Fear Street: Prom Queen has wrapped. Tudum reported that the film was in production back in March 2024. From Darrin Baker, a part of the crew of Fear Street: Prom Queen, he posted on Instagram that they had just wrapped in May 2024.
What this means for a release date, I’m not sure, but all I do know is that I want to see this movie even more now that I know production has wrapped.
What are you most excited about about Fear Street: Prom Queen? All I know is that we’re about to go back to the eighties with this one, and I can’t wait to see it.
