The untitled sixth Purge film is an upcoming American dystopian action horror film written and directed by creator James DeMonaco, who also produced along with Jason Blum and Michael Bay. Starring Frank Grillo, it is the sixth installment in the Purge franchise and a sequel to 2021's The Forever Purge. The film is set to be released by Universal Pictures.

Cast

Frank Grillo as Leo Barnes

Development

In June 2021, despite The Forever Purge originally intended to be the final film of the franchise, producer Jason Blum stated that he intends to make additional Purge films and that he is working on convincing James DeMonaco to continue the story.^[1] In July 2021, DeMonaco confirmed his concept for Purge 6 to focus on Frank Grillo's character Leo Barnes from Anarchy and Election Year, and incorporate a worldwide Purge, a concept originally developed for a potential third season of the television series The Purge.^[2]

By September, DeMonaco had completed the script and signed on to additionally serve as director; while Grillo officially signed on to reprise his role in the franchise. The film will take place ten years after The Forever Purge, in 2059, while the portrayal of the dystopian "tribalized" America will be different in the film, referencing Escape from New York as an influence, and following Barnes in the midst of the Second American Civil War as he is sent on a mission through various Purge states.^[3]^[4]^[5]
