‘Fear Street: Prom Queen’ Gets an “R” Rating – Coming To Netflix This Year

Netflix is heading back to Shadyside with Fear Street: Prom Queen, the latest addition to the Fear Street movie franchise based on R.L. Stine’s beloved teen horror novels. This new installment, directed by Matthew Palmer (Calibre), continues the legacy of the 2021 trilogy (Fear Street Part One: 1994, Part Two: 1978, and Part Three: 1666), and has been officially rated R by the MPA. The rating is due to “strong bloody violence and gore, teen drug use, language, and some sexual references.”

Set in 1988, Fear Street: Prom Queen revisits Shadyside, where prom season at Shadyside High takes a dark turn. The movie introduces a fresh storyline inspired by R.L. Stine’s 1992 book The Prom Queen. In the story, a group of girls campaigning for prom queen begins to mysteriously disappear after a gutsy outsider is nominated.

The students of Shadyside High quickly realize this is no ordinary prom night—it’s a fight for survival.

The cast for this bloody thriller includes Katherine Waterston (Alien: Covenant), Lili Taylor (The Conjuring), Chris Klein (American Pie), India Fowler (The Nevers), Suzanna Son (Red Rocket), Fina Strazza (Paper Girls), David Iacono (The Summer I Turned Pretty), Ariana Greenblatt (Barbie), and Ella Rubin (The Idea of You). The movie also marks a significant shift in the franchise, with Matthew Palmer stepping in as director after Chloe Okuno initially joined the project.

While no official trailer or release date has been announced yet, Netflix has hinted that the movie will premiere later this year. Fans of the franchise can expect the same mix of thrills, chills, and blood-soaked drama that made the original trilogy so popular.

Excitingly, R.L. Stine has confirmed that three additional Fear Street movies are already in development at Netflix, ensuring plenty more trips to Shadyside in the future.
