Jordan Peele has given us some pretty great movies over the years, including the Oscar-winning Get Out, and his next project might be the best one yet. The acclaimed filmmaker dropped hints about his upcoming fourth feature film and said it could be his favorite yet.

Peele recently set down for an interview on the popular podcast Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend and revealed what we can expect from his next project.

“It’s been an interesting year because the writer’s strike had had me in a state of listening, and that’s where I need to be… I do feel like my next project is clear to me, and I’m psyched that I have another film that, you know, could be my favorite movie if I make it right,” said Peele.

The acclaimed director hasn’t shared any more details about his fourth feature film yet, which has previously been set for the Christmas Day 2024 release. It’s been removed from Universal Pictures’ release calendar in the face of the dual strikes in Hollywood last year, remaining in limbo for now.

Peele’s last feature film Nope was released in 2022, and it starred Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer. It was met with generally positive reviews but struggled to make as much impact as his first two features, Get Out and Us.

Jordan Peele gave us another unforgettable modern horror with Nope and it seems he’s 100% ready to say “yep” to its sequel. The acclaimed director is open to revisiting this universe and telling more stories set in the world of his latest film.

Peele discussed the possibility of revisiting the world of Nope in a recent interview with The New York Times. The director was asked about the mysterious character “Nobody”, played by Michael Busch, who only appeared in the final trailer but not in the film itself, and hinted there’s more to him than meets the eye.

“People are doing a lot of interesting detective work, is what’s going on. The story of that character has yet to be told, I can tell you that… I do think [fans] will get more answers on some of these things in the future. We’re not over telling all of these stories,” said Peele.

Nope premiered on July 22 to generally positive reviews, and went on to earn $150 million against a $68 million budget. It stars Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer, Steven Yeun, Michael Wincott, and Brandon Perea, and centers on residents of a remote Californian ravine, who make a chilling discovery that forever changes their lives.

Amazon has renewed Hunters for a second season.

The conspiracy thriller drama was created by David Weil and executive produced by Jordan Peele. The first season premiered on February 21.

Hunters follows a band of Nazi hunters living in 1977 New York City who have discovered that hundreds of high-ranking Nazi officials have been living amongst them and conspiring to create a Fourth Reich in the United States.

Al Pacino, Logan Lerman, Jerrika Hinton, Josh Radnor, Kate Mulvany, Tiffany Boone, Greg Austin, Louis Ozawa, Carol Kane, Saul Rubinek, Dylan Baker, and Lena Olin starred in the first season.

Weil’s inspiration for the series was from his grandmother who was a Holocaust survivor. “She would tell us (my brothers and I) about her experiences during the war. They were stories of great good versus terrifying evil. But they were stories of hope and courage and survival,” he said. “Growing up, I could see those stories through the prism of superheroes and comic books. That’s how I understood who she was, this superhero in my mind,” Weil told Deadline in June.

Only a few days after scoring an Emmy nomination for Insecure, Issa Rae is getting ready to sink her teeth in another promising project. She’ll team up with Jordan Peele in a mind-bending new movie titled Sinkhole.

Based on Leyna Krow’s short story of the same name, Sinkhole centers on a young family that discovers a mysterious sinkhole in their backyard after moving into their dream home, only to realize it has the power of fixing broken things.

The official logline describes Sinkhole as a “genre piece that engages on the question of female perfection and identity.”

The project will be produced by Universal Pictures and Peele’s company Monkeypaw, while Rae is eyed for the lead role.

Sinkhole serves as a star vehicle for the Insecure actress, but it wouldn’t be her first major movie project. She led The Lovebirds and The Photograph this year, and previously starred in Little and The Hate U Give.

“I love stories,” says lead character Atticus Freeman in the trailer. “Heroes go on adventures to other worlds to fight insurmountable odds. Stories are like a living thing,” he continues.
