By October 2023, Stine stated that the film series will continue with additional Fear Street installments in development.[5] This was confirmed by Scott Stuber when he revealed that the next installment would be a standalone film from R. L. Stine's Fear Street book series.[6] Stine confirmed that the project was in work the following January and that it was adapting The Prom Queen, specifically, from the series.[7] In March 2024, the project was titled Fear Street: Prom Queen. The screenplay was adapted by Donald McLeary and Matt Palmer, who would also direct.[8]
