Originally, the first film of the trilogy was scheduled to be released theatrically in June 2020, but the film was eventually pulled from the release schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During the month of April 2020, Chernin Entertainment had ended their distribution deal with 20th Century Studios and made a multi-year first-look deal with Netflix. By the time August 2020 came around, Netflix had officially acquired the distribution rights to theFear Street Trilogywith a mid-2021 release date strategy for all three movies. Netflix is currently using this opportunity of theFear Street Trilogyas an experiment in hopes of making a new way of distributing films by releasing each of three parts of a trilogy a week apart.
