‘The Craft 3’?: Zoe Lister-Jones Says She Wrote ‘The Craft: Legacy’ With a Third Film in Mind
By now it’s no secret that Blumhouse and writer/director Zoe Lister-Jones‘ The Craft: Legacy, out now via PVOD, is a sequel rather than a remake, centered on a new coven of witches but serving as a continuation of the 1996 film. That makes the new movie a 24-years-later follow-up to the beloved cult classic, and if Lister-Jones has her way, it’ll get its own follow-up.
Speaking with Bloody Disgusting’s The Boo Crew Podcast this week, Lister-Jones expressed interest in writing/directing a third Craft movie, calling it a “dream” scenario.
“We don’t know [if we’ll get to make another]. That’s really for the people to decide,” Lister-Jones told The Boo Crew. “I do [have ideas]. And I always had imagined… I sort of wrote this film with a third in mind. But yeah. We’ll see how this one goes.”
She continued, “I think it would be such a dream for all of us to work together again. It truly was a magical experience. And I think really transformative for all of us. So it would be incredible to reunite and get in there again with all of these incredible women.”
Lister-Jones is joined by The Craft: Legacy stars Cailee Spaeny, Lovie Simone, Zoey Luna and Gideon Adlon for a non-spoiler sit down with The Boo Crew this week about the horror films that changed them, the magic of the original 1996 adventure, the unique voice of Legacy, the use of real witchcraft on set, and so much more.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
