Writer/director Damien Leone offered an update on the film via social media today, essentially clearing the air about any potential rumors that might be floating around about the project. Here's what he had to say: "The script is very close to completion, and I'm hoping to begin pre-production this spring. This is the most precious script I've written for many reasons, but it's also the most challenging. There's a lot of material to tackle and a lot riding on this one, not just creatively but emotionally." Adding... "We've built something special together over the years. The cast and crew who have been here since the beginning deserve a finale that honors their dedication, and the fans who've championed this franchise deserve something unforgettable. In all honesty, I'm thrilled with the way it's turning out and confident it will deliver." (2/25/26)

Art the Clown actor David Howard Thornton had a recent interview revealing minor new details on the project, saying: "I don’t know a whole lot, because this time around Damien has been keeping everything very close to his vest about what’s happening in the script. Lauren [Lavera], Samantha [Scaffidi], and I, in the past when he’s been writing the other scripts, he’s been consulting us the whole entire time, running ideas by us. This time, he’s been pretty much silent. He just goes, ‘Oh yeah, you’re gonna love the origin story, Dave. You’re gonna love how we do it.’ And he said also, ‘The finale is bat-shit insane. You’re gonna have a lot of fun with that.' Other than that, I don’t know, but that makes me excited." Adding... "I feel like this might be the finale of this story arc that [Leone]’s going with for right now and might give it a rest for a few years and might return later on to it. I have no idea, but I’m excited nonetheless. I have so much faith in him." (10/24/25)
