A new Blair Witch movie is coming. The franchise kicked off in 1999 with the smash hit independent feature The Blair Witch Project, which was an early entry in the found footage boom that purported to be the last footage shot by a group of film students who went missing in the Maryland woods while making a documentary about a local legend known as the Blair Witch. The movie was immediately followed by a non-found footage sequel in 2000 and later by a 2016 found footage sequel directed by Adam Wingard.

Screen Rant was in attendance at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, where during the Lionsgate panel it was announced that a new movie in the Blair Witch franchise is in development, in a partnership with Blumhouse.
