Overview
- Paramount announced on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, that it is developing a feature film version of Grady Hendrix’s bestselling novel The Final Girl Support Group.
- Christopher Landon has been tapped to write and direct the film, reuniting him creatively with Hendrix after their prior collaboration.
- Hendrix will serve as an executive producer and Andy and Barbara Muschietti will produce under their Double Dream banner while Charlize Theron is no longer attached.
- Paramount has not announced casting, a production schedule, or a release date and is also developing Hendrix’s novella BadAsstronauts as a separate project.
- The book’s premise centers on a Los Angeles support group of six slasher survivors and the hire of Landon, known for Paranormal Activity entries and Happy Death Day, signals a studio play for nostalgia-driven horror and proven genre talent.
