We don't talk enough about how dangerous reading can be for young people... or at least, it is when the book they pick up is the infamous Necronomicon. It's a lesson characters have been learning since The Evil Dead first debuted in 1981. So, when will the release date for the sixth entry in the franchise, Evil Dead Burn, arrive?

The Evil Dead Burn release date is July 24th, 2026. While Evil Dead Burn is itself a self-contained standalone, like the two previous Evil Dead movies, it has been about three years since the previous movie in the series, Evil Dead Rise, was released in theaters. And while Evil Dead Burn is very exciting, bear in mind that it's just one of the upcoming movie release dates to keep on your radar. An official trailer for Evil Dead Burn has yet to be made available.

Evil Dead Burn stars Souheila Yacoub, Hunter Doohan, Luciane Buchanan, Tandi Wright and George Pullar. While the movie is directed by Sébastien Vaniček, original series creator and horror movie legend Sam Raimi will serve as a producer alongside Rob Tapert.

The theatrical release date for Evil Dead Burn is July 24th, 2026.
