The first trailer for "Fear Street: Prom Queen" has arrived.
Basic info:
The "Fear Street" saga is one of Netflix's greatest success stories. Three films were released in summer 2021 over the course of two weeks, and they were all exceptional. They were a perfect blend of classic horror elements, humor and a great story.
The three films spanned multiple different timelines. Each one told a specific and unique story, but all three - "1994," "1978" and "1666" - were also deeply tied together.
It was a very bold project from Netflix, and it was a smashing success. All three are among the best movies of the past decade. Now, Netflix is going back to the well to try it again with "Fear Street: Prom Queen."
You can watch the trailer below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
A couple of quick observations. First, the characters in "Prom Queen" are in the graduating class of 1988. That means the events of the first "Fear Street" film happened six years after the events of the new movie. That makes "Prom Queen" a prequel to "1994" and a sequel to the other two in terms of the universe's timeline.
The second observation is that it appears there's been a bit of a vibe shift from the original saga. The original three films focused on a large group of characters, both teen dudes and girls. It appears "Prom Queen" will focus heavily on a core group of female characters.
That's not a bad thing. In fact, it doesn't mean anything until we see the movie. It's just a notable difference.
It will also be fascinating to see if "Prom Queen" is tied into the original three films from 2021 or if it will just simply exist in the same universe. My money is definitely on the former. It creates more avenues for further stories to be told.
Fans are also *VERY* excited in the comments:
I truly can't wait for May 23rd. Sounds like a great excuse to re-watch the original three films. Let me know what you think at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
