A New Film Is In The Works For THE PURGE Franchise

We recently reported that The Purge franchise is being developed into a television series. Today, we have more news on the film franchise. Have you ever wondered how The Purge began?

That seems the natural next chapter in this, is to say, ‘Alright, we’ve done this trilogy. We see how it got to this point of someone trying to end it – this presidential figure.
