Jordan Peele is doubling down on his plans to keep almost everything abouthis next horror movie a secret. The Get Out director recently confirmed that it will release in 2026, but during an appearance onJimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show, he was pressed for more details.

“Your next movie is listed as one of the most anticipated horror movies of 2026 — no one even knows what the premise is, no one knows who the cast is, no one even knows if it’s been shot already,” the host asked him, before Peele replied: “Yes! Let the mystery swirl. You’re not getting anything out of me tonight, Jimmy!”

PerDeadline, Peele continued: “What could it be? Where could it be? Who could it be? We know when. I’m gonna keep everybody in a painful suspense. Trust me, it’ll pay off.”
