It looks like it’s finally happening… the Mogwai are coming back to the big screen as Gremlins 3 gets a greenlight and release date!
Writer of the first two movies, Chris Columbus, is returning to the franchise, having co-written the new movie with Zach Lipovsky and Adam B Stein, who wrote Final Destination: Bloodlines, and he’s also stepping behind the camera to direct the movie, picking up from Joe Dante who directed the first two movies in the franchise.
And the best part? Well, it’s set for Christmas 2027, the best time for a Gremlins movie – fight me.

While Warner Bros is currently going through a potential buy-out, the movie has been given the go-ahead from boss David Zaslav with Steven Spielberg exec producing through Amblin.
As of now, there’s no word on if stars Zach Galligan or Phoebe Cates will return but Galligan has been outspken about the third movie for a long, long time, so I will be very surprised if he’s not involved somehow.
Gremlins 3 is expected to hit cinemas on 19th November, 2027.
Thoughts? I know you have them and I wanna hear ’em all!

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
