A new release date and first look have been revealed for Gremlins 3.
Reports of the sequel being in the works go back as far as 2013, and in the 13 years since then, there has been uncertainty about whether Gremlins 3 would actually happen. In November 2025, it was confirmed that the next and untitled installment in the Gremlins franchise is being directed, written, and produced by Christopher Columbus, who wrote the original 1984 movie, and was slated to be released in theaters on November 19, 2027.
Warner Bros. has now announced that Gremlins 3 will be released on October 6, 2028, instead of November 19, 2027. A teaser, which features the new release date, was also unveiled. The footage shows a Gremlin making noise while inside a backpack and saying, "Uh-oh." Check it out below:
