Send Help, Sam Raimi’s long-awaited return to the horror genre, has taken another huge leap forward.
Although principal photography hasn’t yet commenced, 20th Century Studios have confirmed that Send Help will release to theatres on January 30th 2026.
This news comes shortly after word that actors Dennis Haysbert and Chris Pang had joined the cast in undisclosed roles.
Haysbert and Pang join stars Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien, for a project described as “Castaway meets Misery.”
As per an official log-line:
“The film is a survival horror thriller about two colleagues (O’Brien and McAdams) who become stranded on a deserted island, the only survivors of a plane crash. On the island, they must overcome past grievances and work together to survive, but ultimately, it’s a battle of wills and wits to make it out alive.”
From a script by Freddy Vs. Jason scribes Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, Zainab Azizi will produce alongside Raimi and the “Raimi Productions” banner.
Send Help will mark Raimi’s first genre directing gig since 2009’s universally adored Drag Me to Hell. The director’s return to horror has fans excited, and so, we’ll be watching this project closely for any further updates.
We’re sure many fans are now counting down the days until January 30th 2026!
