With his last movie, Glass, now way, way in our rear-view mirror, Universal Pictures has moved to announce release dates for two new M. Night Shyamalan movies.

Courtesy of Universal, the films have been given February 26th, 2021 and February 17th, 2023 release dates. For both features, no plot details or titles are known at this stage. Shyamalan will be on writing and directing duties for both offerings.

On this news, Universal’s Peter Cramer enthused, “M. Night Shyamalan continues to create exciting, highly original stories that keep global audiences on the edge of their seats. There is no one like him: he is a master filmmaker working at the height of his powers, and we are honoured that he has once again chosen Universal to be the home for his next two incredible projects.”

For his part, Shyamalan added, “There are wonderful studios out there, but Universal has made it a mandate to release original films. They are the best at finding an audience for new stories with unexpected tones. I believe original films are crucial to the longevity of the theatrical experience. I am so excited to be working with them again and bringing new stories to the movie screen for years to come.”

Since making a huge splash with The Sixth Sense in 1999, Shyamalan has gone on to write and direct the likes of Unbreakable, Signs, The Village, Lady in the Water, The Last Airbender, Split and the aforementioned Glass.

As ever, expect more on these two now M. Night Shyamalan movies as we get it.
