Tubi has officially greenlit a sequel to its hit original film, R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead, with the follow-up set to premiere during the platform’s “Terror on Tubi” event in October 2026.

The announcement follows the strong performance of the first film, which debuted in October 2025 and ranked on Variety’s Streaming Original Movies Chart, highlighting its popularity among viewers.

Inspired by R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour, the series blends horror and adventure for younger audiences. The upcoming sequel will continue expanding the story’s mythology, centered on a cursed town where pumpkin-headed figures rise during a harvest festival.

The original film’s success also contributed to a surge in engagement for Tubi’s annual Halloween programming, which drew over 100 million hours of viewing time in 2025.

The sequel will once again be produced by Front Street Pictures, with Jem Garrard returning as writer and director.
