Hotel Transylvania, a hit animated franchise, is working on its fifth installment, reveals Keegan-Michael Key, who voices Murray the Mummy.
The actor confirms the development in an interview with Variety. However, Sony Pictures Animation, the studio behind the franchise, has not made the official announcement yet.
But fans might be expecting a new installment because Genndy Tartakovsky, who served as the franchise’s director, hinted at the possibility of a fifth film.
“I think there’s gonna be more and more. It’s great. If there’s a demand for it, I think the fourth one did really well on Amazon. I think they want more. So we’ll see what happens,” the filmmaker, who directed first three films in the franchise, said at SCAD’s Animation Fest.
Meanwhile, the animated monster comedy film series began in 2012 and reportedly became a massive franchise.
It has so far released four films, three short films, a TV show, and numerous video games. In addition, a Netflix series focusing on Motel Transylvania is in the works.
In the meantime, it’s unclear when the fifth installment of Hotel Transylvania will be released. But it’s expected to be in 2027.
