Everardo Gout, who helmed several episodes Nat Geo’s “Mars” has signed on to direct the next installment of The Purge franchise for Blumhouse, Platinum Dunes, and Universal Pictures. Following the success of last year’s The First Purge (review), which is the highest-grossing film of the franchise, creator James DeMonaco, who penned the first three films, is returning to pen the script. The franchise centers on the annual day where for 12 hours all crime is legal. The plot for the new installment is being kept under wraps at this point but we assume the movie will follow the same pattern. Jason Blum, Man in a Tree duo Demonaco and Sébastien K. Lemercier will produce alongside Platinum Dunes’ Michael Bay, Brad Fuller, and Andrew Form. The Purge 5 is set to be released on July 10, 2020.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting news about USA and Syfy’s series adaptation of The Purge. New details have now come to light thanks to creator James DeMonaco’s discussion with EW. Executive producer Jason Blum already revealed that show will open with “an entirely new chapter in America’s 12 hours of annual lawlessness,” one that will “reveal to the fans what happens the other 364 days of the year and how that law affects people.” DeMonaco has clarified that the series is not all set on the night of the annual Purge. I’d say it’s 70, 65 percent Purge Night and then 30 percent flashback,” DeMonaco told EW. “We follow four what-seem-to-be separate storylines of people going out on the evening and experiencing the Purge. The real estate of the 10 hours of the TV allows us to use flashback, where we flashback out of the Purge world, into the regular lives, the non-Purge days, of this future America. We get

Don’t worry, Demonaco did pen the script. In a recent interview with Vulture, Demonaco gave up a few details about both the upcoming Purge sequel and the spin-off television series. The film will be set on Staten Island during the first purge. I was wondering how you get people to stay for the first Purge, and what they do is they start monetizing it,” said DeMonaco. “People from Staten Island can easily go to Brooklyn for the evening, so what they do is start promising very decent sums of money for the very poor people in the neighborhood. It becomes a monetization of murder and violence, incentivizing killing and keeping people around for them to be victims. So you see the inception of how grotesque the idea of the
