Move over, found-footage horror — Broadway’s about to do it live. Paranormal Activity: A New Story Live on Broadway arrives at the August Wilson Theatre this summer with an original story inspired by the hit horror franchise. Written by Levi Holloway (Grey House) and directed by Felix Barrett — yes, the Punchdrunk co-creator behind Sleep No More — the play follows James and Lou, a couple who relocate from Chicago to London hoping to outrun their past, only to learn that places aren’t haunted; people are.

The 20-week limited engagement begins previews August 14, 2026 with opening night September 15. The production lands on Broadway after sold-out engagements in Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, an Olivier-nominated West End run, and a stop at Boston’s Emerson Colonial Theatre this July. Tony-winning illusion designer Chris Fisher (Stranger Things: The First Shadow), sound designer Gareth Fry (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), lighting designer Anna Watson, scenic and costume designer Fly Davis, and projections designer Luke Halls round out the creative team. Blumhouse founder Jason Blum, original producer of the film series, joins the Broadway producing team. Cast TBA.
