Is Insidious: The Red Door the last one?

With Insidious: The Red Door on Netflix now, fans might be wondering: is the fifth movie in the Insidious franchise also the last?

Insidious 5, aka The Red Door, is the fifth chapter in the horror movie franchise. In summer, the sequel arrived in cinemas, marking more than five years since the previous installment, The Last Key.

Although the critics weren’t too enthusiastic about the movie, giving it a 38% Rotten Tomatoes score, Insidious: The Red Door went down well with audiences, who gave it 70% – the highest in the franchise. 

While the spooky season has been and gone, plenty of viewers have been tuning into the horror flick now that it’s landed on Netflix. But the question remains: is The Red Door the last Insidious movie?

Is Insidious 5 the last one? The next movie after The Red Door

Insidious 5: The Red Door is not the last movie in the franchise as Insidious 6 has been confirmed.

This is huge news for fans as previously franchise producer Jason Blum warned that Insidious 5 would be the last movie in the series.

“You better see this Insidious, it’s the last one!” He said. “To give a more serious answer, [The Red Door] is going to be the last we’re going to see of Insidious for a while. It may not be a forever rest, but it’s certainly going to be a very long rest. 

“So, if someone comes up with some idea in 10 years, who knows? But there’s not a plan – as there has been with every prior Insidious movie – there’s no current plan in place for number six.”

Although fans should celebrate the release of a new Insidious movie, the sixth entry will be taking place in a separate universe from the upcoming spin-off Thread: An Insidious Tale.

The next Insidious movie

Insidious 6 is set to premiere in theaters on August 25, 2025.

The Red Door seemingly closed the door on the adventures of the Lambert family, so there’s no word on if the original cast of Patrick Wilson, Ty Simpkins, and Rose Byrne will return.

Other than its release date, no other details, including its plot, have been announced, but Insidious 6 could focus on other evil spirits that are lurking within The Further.

What is Insidious: The Red Door about?

The official synopsis reads: “In Insidious: The Red Door, the horror franchise’s original cast returns for the final chapter of the Lambert family’s terrifying saga. 

“To put their demons to rest once and for all, Josh (Patrick Wilson) and a college-aged Dalton (Ty Simpkins) must go deeper into The Further than ever before, facing their family’s dark past and a host of new and more horrifying terrors that lurk behind the red door.”
