There is no officially announced Black Phone 3 at the moment, but the creative team has made it clear they are open to a third movie if they find a fresh, strong idea, so a sequel is possible but not guaranteed yet.

Current status

  • Director Scott Derrickson has said a third film would only happen if it can make a big pivot and not just repeat the first two movies’ formula.
  • Recent interviews describe Black Phone 3 as a “possibility” rather than something that is in active production or has a release date.

Why a third movie is possible

  • The first Black Phone was a major box office success and helped launch the franchise, making more than ten times its reported budget worldwide.
  • Black Phone 2 also opened strongly and revived its studio’s horror box office momentum, which increases the chances that the studio will want another sequel if the right story appears.

What the director and press are saying

  • Derrickson has emphasized that there is “no point” in doing Black Phone 3 unless it feels necessary and different, saying it would have to surprise audiences rather than just extend the killer’s “rules.”
  • Coverage from outlets like Screen Rant, Collider, and others frames a third film as “not planned for now” or dependent on a compelling new direction, even while acknowledging fan interest and financial incentives.

Safe speculation (what might happen)

  • If Black Phone 2 continues to perform well on streaming and home release, the studio may push harder for a continuation of the franchise , especially given horror’s history of multi‑sequel runs.
  • Given the filmmakers’ comments, any potential Black Phone 3 would likely change tone or concept again rather than simply bringing back the same villain in the same way.

TL;DR: Right now, there is no confirmed Black Phone 3 with a set release date, but the door is very much open; whether it happens will depend on the performance of Black Phone 2 and whether the creators land a new, non‑repetitive idea for the story.
