Get ready for more purging.

Despite seeming to end the story with The Purge: Election Year, Universal and producers Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes have set in development a new installment.

The studio has set a date of July 4, 2018, for the untitled next Purge chapter, which brings back franchise creator James DeMonaco, though not as a director.

DeMonaco is writing the script and will work closely with the producers to choose a new director for the project.

Blumhouse Productions’ Jason Blum, Platinum Dunes partners Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form, and DeMonaco’s longtime production partner, Sebastien K. Lemercier are producing.

The Purge series is set in a near future America where once a year there is a 12-hour period where all crime, including the most insane acts of murder, are legal. The first movie was a contained thriller that starred Ethan Hawke and made a very healthy $64.4 million on a $3 million budget. By the time of last year’s installment, Election Year, the story had expanded into a battle for America’s political future; the producers still kept the budget low — $10 million — and the movie, which starred Frank Grillo, grossed almost $80 million. The movie was also timely in its political overtones.

I really like The Purge. It annoyed me that they used the same actor guy in the 2nd and 3rd, should be a complete different set of characters each time.. I hope they don't do that again.

Same, the third one was beyond predictable too because you just knew the senator was going to survive

I'd quite like this one to be the very first purge, that could be quite interesting

That'll be cool. I have a feeling it will pick up where it ended though. That woman became president right? It'll probably be her trying to end it but people killing anyway

The trailer for this newest Purge makes it actually look pretty good.

I liked the first two but the third one was trash

I've such a soft spot for these movies. Think there's a TV show coming out too...?
