Jessica Rothe Says Happy Death Day 3 Story Is Ready

She says the holdup is logistics, not ideas.

Overview

  • Jessica Rothe said in a recent interview that writer-director Christopher Landon has the third Happy Death Day movie fully mapped out.
  • She described the project as stuck on practical hurdles, with no studio greenlight or production start announced.
  • Rothe pledged to return as Tree Gelbman whenever the film happens, even years from now.
  • She also floated a shared universe she called the “ChrisCU,” linking Happy Death Day with Landon’s Freaky, We Have a Ghost, and Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse.
  • The update comes seven years after the 2019 sequel, a lull that followed Landon’s 2023 remark that studio interest cooled after the second film underperformed.
