Fear Street Part 4: Confirmation, Cast, Story & Everything We Know

Summary Fear Street 4 is confirmed and will adapt R.L. Stine's novel, The Prom Queen.

New cast members have been announced for Fear Street 4, and none of the original actors will return.

The Prom Queen follows high schooler Lizzie McVay as she becomes a prom queen candidate only to find her fellow candidates are being brutally murdered.

Shadyside's curse may have been broken in Fear Street Part 3: 1666, but there is even more terror on the horizon in Fear Street: Prom Queen. Following the wildly successful Fear Street trilogy on Netflix, the project was originally pitched as the start of a greater anthology franchise, and there are plenty of R.L. Stine books to draw from. Directed by Leigh Janiak, Fear Street's story is told over three movies that take place in 1994, 1978 and 1666, respectively, and pays homage to horror classics like Scream and Friday the 13th.

Set in the small town of Shadyside, the trilogy follows a group of teens as they try to survive a witch's curse that periodically causes a Shadysider to become possessed and go on a brutal killing spree. Their investigation takes them all the way back to the source of the curse in 1666, when a local witch named Sarah Fier was hanged and has supposedly kept her grip on the town ever since. After some shocking reveals, an upsetting encounter with a bread-slicer, and a grand finale in the local mall, the Fear Street trilogy ends on a post-credits tease for future installments.

Fear Street: Prom Queen Story

Which R.L. Stine Book Is Being Adapted?

R.L. Stine not only officially confirmed that production on Fear Street 4 was beginning in early 2024, but he also revealed that the movie will adapt his novel The Prom Queen from 1992. Coming as the 15th book in the Fear Street series, The Prom Queen is set in the familiar environment of Shadyside (the setting of the Fear Street universe) and follows high schooler Lizzie McVay, who is one of the five candidates for prom queen at Shadyside High in the 1980s. However, things take a turn for the terrifying as the prom queen candidates begin turning up brutally murdered.

At this juncture, it is unclear how closely Fear Street: Prom Queen will follow the book, or if it will merely use it as a framework to tell a continuation of the first three movies. With the Sarah Fier storyline seemingly done and dusted, Fear Street: Prom Queen could be a fresh start, or it could devise a way to bring back the ancient curse for even more shenanigans in Shadyside.
