The Strangers franchise is set to make its return next year with an entire trilogy. Director Renny Harlin, known for his previous works such as Cliffhanger and Die Hard 2, will helm these new films, which will serve as an extension of the franchise that first captivated audiences in 2008.
The Strangers: Chapter 1 of the trilogy will star the talented Madelaine Petsch from the hit series Riverdale, alongside Froy Gutierrez.
