Nicolas Cage & Osgood Perkins Are Reteaming On New ‘Longlegs’ Universe Film
You can’t keep a Satanic serial killer down for long; THR reports that Osgood Perkins is working on a follow-up to Longlegs with Nicolas Cage returning to star and produce.
While the sequel news isn’t surprising, considering Longlegs was the highest-grossing indie film of 2024, what is surprising is that the sequel is shifting from distributor Neon to Paramount Pictures.
More importantly, the new Longlegs film isn’t a direct sequel but rather something “set in the Longlegs universe.” Naturally, that means plot details are under wraps at this time, but it is confirmed that Perkins has written the script and will return to the director’s chair as well as produce.
In Longlegs, “FBI Agent Lee Harker (Maika Monroe) is a gifted new recruit assigned to the unsolved case of an elusive serial killer (Cage). As the case takes complex turns, unearthing evidence of the occult, Harker discovers a personal connection to the merciless killer and must race against time to stop him before he claims the lives of another family.”
THR reports that the budget and scope of the new Longlegs feature were too substantial for its former distributor, raising even more eyebrows as to what Perkins has envisioned for his killer’s latest exploits.
Also producing are Brian Kavanaugh Jones of Range Media, Chris Ferguson, Perkins’ partner at their company Phobos, and Dave Caplan of C2, which financed the initial movie.
Perkins is coming off a busy 2025, which saw the release of both The Monkey and Keeper. His upcoming horror film starring Nicole Kidman, The Young People, is expected to arrive in 2026 from Neon.
Cage will next be seen in Amazon Prime Video’s Spider-Man series, Spider-Noir, before donning the Longlegs wig and prosthetics for another round of Satanic mayhem.
Spider One (Bury the Bride, Little Bites) is back in the director’s chair for this year’s Big Baby, a meta slasher that sees Brandon Scott (Dead to Me) puppeteering slasher kills in our exclusive teaser debut.
Brainstorm Media will release the film on VOD on August 7, 2026.
In the upcoming slasher, “A nightmare involving a maniac killer in a baby mask serves as inspiration for horror screenwriter Adam Lewis’s new script. As more nightmares, visions, and real life terror begin to challenge Adam’s sanity, he finds himself in a desperate struggle to control his writing, his reality, and who will be Big Baby’s next victim.”
Watch the teaser below as Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier) falls prey to the Big Baby, but with a bloody meta twist.
Krsy Fox (Little Bites, Terrifier 3), Adam Marcinowski (Allegoria), Jordan Elsass (Little Fires Everywhere, Superman & Lois), Radek Lord (Ballers), Sierra McCormick (The Vast Of Night), Chaz Bono (American Horror Story), Kate Freund (Creepshow), Torio Van Grol, Cameron Cowperthwaite (Dahmer, Fallout), Kirby Bliss Blanton (The Green Inferno, Project X), and Nelson Leis (The Last Of Us, The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina) also star.
Written and directed by Spider One, Big Baby is executive produced by pop icon Cher, Chaz Bono, Tyler Connolly, Wendy Berry, and Terry Poor.
