1h 38m R
www.imdb.comHere’s the latest I can provide based on recent reporting up to 2025 and common industry updates.
Answer
- There has been intermittent talk about a third Don't Breathe film, with Stephen Lang confirming in 2025 that a concept exists and there has been some progress, though no official green light or release date has been announced [cite ][cite ].
Key points
- Don’t Breathe 3 status: The project is not officially confirmed as in production, but Lang has indicated ongoing development and a potential for a conclusion to the trilogy, depending on nailing down a strong concept [cite ][cite ].
- Creative challenges: Creators have faced scheduling and concept development hurdles, which has slowed progress but kept the possibility alive in public statements [cite ][cite ].
- Past context: The franchise began with Don’t Breathe (2016) and Don’t Breathe 2 (2021). As of mid-2025, official details about a third installment were sparse, though development chatter continued [cite ].
What to watch for
- Official announcements from Sony Pictures or the filmmakers (Fede Álvarez, Rodo Sayagues) would confirm a title, cast, and release window. Expect updates to drop first through entertainment trade outlets and social media when a solid plan is in place [cite ].
Illustration
- If you’d like, I can summarize the timeline of public statements about a potential third film and map it against any confirmed production milestones as they become available.
