Netflix is set to release Fear Street: Prom Queen globally on May 23, 2025, marking the latest chapter in the Fear Street franchise based on the bestselling books by R.L. Stine. Directed by Matt Palmer and co-written by Palmer and Donald Mcleary, the film revisits the cursed town of Shadyside during a deadly prom season.
Set in 1988, the story follows a group of popular girls at Shadyside High preparing for prom, each vying for the crown. When a determined outsider enters the race, the dynamic shifts—and soon, contestants begin vanishing one by one. As suspicion and fear grow, prom night spirals into a fight for survival.
Fear Street: Prom Queen features a cast led by India Fowler, Suzanna Son, Fina Strazza, Chris Klein, David Iacono, and Ariana Greenblatt, with Lili Taylor and Katherine Waterston in key supporting roles. The film is produced by Chernin Entertainment with Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, and Kori Adelson, and executive producers Yvonne Bernard, Joan Waricha, and Jane Stine.
The Fear Street series has become known for blending teen drama with slasher horror, and Prom Queen continues that tradition with a storyline that explores social hierarchies, power, and paranoia under a prom-night backdrop.
