Blumhouse does something else Five Nights at Freddy’s made a film and brought in a new writer to develop its script.
That would be Gary Dauberman, no David Robert Mitchell as you have heard recently. Dauberman’s screenwriting career about all fearsfrom recent times This movies for Conjuring spinoffs Nun and Annabelle: Genesis and the 2024 adaptation Salem’s Lot. (He has his only non-horror credit, and it’s an October story Street fighter movie.) This will be the first Freddy’s Scott Hawthon, who co-wrote the screenplay for the first film with Seth Cuddeback and director Emma Tammy and has sole writing credit for the second film, wrote the screenplay for the non-franchise film.
as The Hollywood Reporter notes that this is actually the first real news Five nights at Freddy’s 3. The second film was released in December 2025 and grossed $240 million worldwide despite receiving rather poor reviews from critics and some fans. While Tammy is expected to return to direct for a third time, it is questionable whether the core trio of Josh Hutcherson (Mike), Elizabeth Lail (Vanessa) and Piper Rubio (Abby) from the first two films will return. Freddy 2 It ended with Vanessa’s body being taken by the Marionette animatronics after Mike and Abby walked away from her. So the window is open for the Schmidts to return or for some new people to be in Marionette’s crosshairs.
We will have more Five nights at Freddy’s 3 as the news comes out.
