The Purge creator James DeMonaco has opened up about the status of the planned sixth big-screen entry in the action/horror franchise.
‘s Leo Barnes. However, he also revealed that the film was currently in a state of limbo, owing to concerns at Universal Pictures regarding its budget.
“I wrote the script. Universal has seen it,” DeMonaco said. “There are concerns about budget, but it definitely presents a fractured America … The America I present in Purge 6 is where we all are separated by ideology and sexual preference. So, the states are broken down in different ways.” The filmmaker elaborated, “It’s written, it’s in [Universal’s] hands. I think they’re scared about the budget. But my thing was if I was going to come back and direct a sixth one, it was going to be something bigger and a little more epic in scope, with this new America I want to present and bringing back [Frank Grillo’s] character. So, it’s kinda in limbo.”Written and directed by DeMonaco, The Purge originally released in theaters in 2013.
2018 saw the release of The First Purge, which was written by DeMonaco and directed by Gerard McMurray. As its title implies, The First Purge is a prequel, taking place before the events of the original 2013 film. 2016’s Election Year eventually got a direct sequel in the form of The Forever Purge. Written by DeMonaco and directed by Everardo Gout, The Forever Purge released in 2021 as the franchise’s fifth and ostensibly final big-screen installment.
That said, in addition to the planned sixth film, a television adaptation simply titled The Purge also aired on the USA Network for two seasons from 2018 to 2019.
