Those of you expecting to receive the gift of Tarman this Christmas were massively disappointed, but here’s a stocking stuffer of good news: Steve Wolsh‘s remake of Return of the Living Dead is now on track for release in November 2026, according to an official statement on the film’s website.
The reason for the delay is that filming continued through the end of this year, but the news came with a surprise – “WithAnO Productions and Living Dead Media took over The London Hotel in West Hollywood, California to share a special sneak peek of the new Return of the Living Dead movie. The guest list included various industry, talent, media, and more for a festive red carpet event that included a thirteen-minute sneak peek of the new movie.”
“A packed house was treated to a scene featuring cast members Devon Sawa, Casimere Jollette, Kynlee Heiman, and Alexander Ward (Teen Wolf, Ghosted, Annabelle Comes Home, Escape the Night, Westworld and American Horror Story), who plays the iconic Tarman in the new film,” adds the update. “Director Steve Wolsh gave brief introductions and thanked all attending before setting up the clip. While details of the scene are still under wraps, the crowd was filled with gasps, cheers, laughs, and applause at what you can expect was a gruesomely gory good time.”
Dread Central has heard from insiders that this footage was not only impressive but quite gory, and that Wolsh “understood the assignment.” It’s time to get HYPED.
The project isn’t a reboot of the original but rather a new installment in the beloved horror-comedy franchise. It’s set in a small Pennsylvania town in Christmas 1985, just 18 months after the events of the original film directed by Dan O’Bannon. That film followed the unfortunate events that ensued after two bumbling employees at the Uneeda Medical Supply warehouse accidentally released a deadly gas into the air, which led the dead to rise as zombies, infecting the entire town and inadvertently sealing its fate.

The franchise spans five films, beginning with the 1985 original and continuing with Return of the Living Dead II (1988), directed by Ken Wiederhorn; Return of the Living Dead III (1993), directed by Brian Yuzna; and the back-to-back 2005 entries Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis and Return of the Living Dead: Rave to the Grave, both directed by Ellory Elkayem.
