It is currently scheduled to be released on February 4, 2028, per Variety.

Universal did not provide a reason for the scheduling change, although Variety noted that there are some huge releases coming on December 17, 2027: Avengers: Secret Wars, The Lord of the Rings: Hunt for Gollum, and The Housemaid’s Secret.

As a result, it’s possible producers wanted to give the movie some distance from those massive franchises.

Jamie Lee Curtis is set to star as Jessica Fletcher, played by Angela Lansbury in the original TV series, which ran from 1984 to 1996 for 12 seasons. Angela passed away in 2022 at the age of 96.

We don’t know anything about what the movie will entail just yet, but Pitch Perfect director Jason Moore is helming the project, and Dumb Money writers Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo are doing the screenplay.

The project has been a long time coming: “Oh, it’s … happening,” Jamie said last summer.

“We’re a minute away. But yeah, very excited. Very excited,” she added. We first heard rumblings about the movie all the way back in 2023.
