Scream fan-favorites Matthew Lillard and Skeet Ulrich have shared an exciting new update about Five Nights at Freddy’s 3, teasing the current status of the next chapter to Blumhouse’s popular live-action franchise.

This comes over four months after the 2025 sequel was first released in theaters, where it became a box office success. Despite receiving negative reviews from critics, the film was once again a massive hit among fans and moviegoers. It grossed over $239 million against its budget of around $31-51 million.

Per Loucifer, during a panel appearance at the For the Love of Horror event, Lillard and Ulrich teased their respective return as William Afton and Henry. They also confirmed that production on Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 is about to begin soon.

“We’re about to go do the third movie, and we’re in it together, and I’m going to kill him, I’m sure,” Lillard said.

Ulrich added, “I’m very excited to see what we wind up making for the third movie. From what I hear, there will be a lot of Henry and Charlotte.”
