Happy Death Day & Freaky Crossover Update Given By Blumhouse

The producer of both films has addressed the possibility of crossover between Happy Death Day and Freaky.
The 2017 original Happy Death Day was immediately followed by the 2019 film Happy Death Day 2U, which combined the time loop premise of Groundhog Day with a traditional college campus slasher film.
Both films were directed by Christopher Landon, who went on to direct the slasher hybrid Freaky Friday in 2020, prompting calls for a crossover between the two franchises. The producers of both films have given their OK to the proposal.


The creator of Blumhouse, Jason Blum, and M3GAN's director and producer, James Wan, recently spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about their impending killer doll film.
The topic of discussion shifted to the Freaky Death Day crossover and whether or not it will actually happen.
In regards to the project's prospects, Blum was quite pessimistic, saying, "I wouldn't have very great hopes," yet he was careful not to completely dismiss the idea.
See the rest of his words below:




Blum's suggestion that the crossover between Freaky Friday and Death Day was more likely to occur a few months ago is noteworthy.
It's hard to say what could have changed in that time to dampen enthusiasm for the picture, beyond the obvious truth that audiences age and lose interest with time.
Although the exact context of the comment may never be known, there is a glaring reason why a Happy Death Day/Freaky crossover may never happen: the cast and crew of both franchises are extremely busy.


Kathryn Newton, who portrays last girl turned killer and back again Millie Kessler in Happy Death Day and Freaky, is a major roadblock for the continuation of the crossover between the two films.
Cassie Lang, formerly played by Abby Ryder Fortson, will be portrayed by her in the forthcoming MCU film Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and her character's arc might continue in future films.
Due to their schedules, the show's main creatives are unlikely to be able to work together for weeks at a time on a single set.
