According to Discussing Film,Jason Blum, the head of Blumhouse, advised fans of the series to seeInsidious: The Red Doorin theaters because it might be some time before a new installment will release. To quote him:
“You better see this Insidious, it’s the last one! To give a more serious answer, [The Red Door] is going to be the last we’re going to see of Insidious for a while. It may not be a forever rest, but it’s certainly going to be a very long rest. So, if someone comes up with some idea in 10 years, who knows? But there’s not a plan – as there has been with every prior Insidious movie – there’s no current plan in place for number six.”
Fans will not be completely left in the dark, despite the possibility that a sixthInsidiousmovie will not be made. This is because Blumhouse announced in May 2023 that Jeremy Slater (Moon Knight’sauthor) was attached to write and direct an upcoming horror film, titledThread.
The studio also disclosed that although the story will take place in the same fictional world asInsidious, the first five chapters’ story will not be repeated.

The upcoming movie,Insidious: The Red Door, is likely to bePatrick Wilson’s final outing in the well-known horror franchise.The 50-year-old actor said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that he has no plans to continue theInsidiousseries after his upcoming release, The Red Door.
When asked if he would play Josh Lambert in the future, he stated:
“Well, the quick answer is yes. But I will say, and this is probably not the best way to sell a movie, but it would be cool if way down the line, ifInsidiouswas like theBoyhoodof horror movies. Ty could do these movies for a long time. I think that’s really exciting as a filmmaker to do that and think it’s exciting for an audience to see that. I’m sure it’s exciting for a studio because the IP doesn’t go away for a studio. But Josh and Renai? Speaking on behalf of Rose [Byrne], no. I think we close our door.”
