Once upon a time, Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension was positioned as the final film in the found footage franchise, but that was before Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin brought the franchise back to life on Paramount+ last Halloween. Next of Kin was the seventh installment in the franchise, and it looks like the eighth installment won’t be too far behind.
Variety ran a brand new interview with Jason Blum over the weekend, and included within that article is the mention of a mysterious new installment in the Paranormal Activity saga.
The website reports, “Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin premiered in 2021, with another installment currently eyeing a 2023 release.” Interesting to note, that eighth movie is also currently listed on Wikipedia, under the title Paranormal Activity: The Other Side.
Wikipedia indicates that Paranormal Activity 8 will return to the original storyline…
“The Other Side will feature four young friends who move into Katie and Kristi’s childhood house together before college starts, only to discover the gruesome past of their home and it’s connection to the 1988 incidents. Set in the 1990s, it will reportedly address the fire that destroyed the property which has only been mentioned briefly in a few past installments.”
Oren Peli (Paranormal Activity) reportedly wrote the script, with Wincent Sommers (Slender Man: Origins) directing. Again, this is according to Wikipedia, rather than an official report.
The cast for Paranormal Activity 8 reportedly includes Sonja Gerhardt, Chethrin Schulze, Nika Sofie, Tamara Hitz, Chany Dakota, Leon Pelz. Stay tuned for more info as we learn it.

After the release of the next movie in 2023, it sounds like the franchise may again be put on hold. Jason Blum notes in the same interview with Variety that he wasn’t a fan of how Next of Kin turned out, and the franchise will likely be on hold in the wake of the eighth movie. “It has been enough already. That last Paranormal Activity movie was terrible,” Blum bluntly states.
