James Wan’s Horror Film Other Mommy Delayed to October 2026
UPDATE: The highly anticipated horror film Other Mommy, produced by James Wan, has just been delayed, with its release now set for October 9, 2026. This marks a significant shift from its previously scheduled release on May 8, 2026.
The film, directed by Rob Savage, boasts a star-studded cast including Jessica Chastain, Dichen Lachman, and Jay Duplass. It is based on the 2024 novel by Josh Malerman, titled Incidents Around the House, which tells a chilling tale of a young girl navigating her parents’ tumultuous relationship while being haunted by a mysterious entity she calls the “Other Mommy.”
As of now, detailed plot information remains tightly under wraps. However, excitement is building with the recent addition of cast members Sean Kaufman, known for his role in The Summer I Turned Pretty, and actor Adam Silver. Child actress Arabella Olivia Clark is expected to take on the lead role, adding to the film’s intriguing lineup.
In an interview with Collider in August 2025, Wan expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating, “Working with Rob and talking to him about some of the set pieces and how he wanted to approach Other Mommy is really, really cool. There’s something special about this film that I can’t quite put my finger on, but I just kind of feel it.”
The delay of Other Mommy has stirred conversation among horror enthusiasts, especially following Wan’s successful conclusion of the Conjuring Universe with The Conjuring: Last Rites. Fans are eager to see what new terrors Wan and Savage will bring to the screen in this upcoming release.
As the October 2026 date approaches, fans can expect more updates and possible sneak peeks into the haunting world of Other Mommy. Stay tuned for the latest developments as this gripping story unfolds.
