Paramount Developing Feature Adaptation of The Final Girl Support Group

The move signals Paramount’s push to turn Grady Hendrix’s horror IP into theatrical projects after an earlier HBO Max series setup shifted formats.

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.
