Det var länge tänkt att The Forever Purge som var följetångens femte film också skulle bli den sista, men nu öppnar Purge-skaparen James DeMonaco dörren för en potentiell uppföljare. Universal har förvisso inte ännu gett grönt ljus till projektet men i en intervju med Empire berättade DeMonaco nyligen att han tillsammans med sin Frank Grillo trycker på studiocheferna så mycket det går. De vill verkligen göra en film till, och känner att de har en kul idé. Under intervjun med Empire sa Grillo följande.
"I had an idea in my head about how I should look, and how I'm gonna hold my guns. All that stuff I planned out. (The Purge: Anarchy) solidified me as a guy who could carry a mid-level action movie. And the director, James DeMonaco, changed my life. [I've] got one more Purge left. James has the script. It focuses on the Leo Barnes character, and he wants to direct it. We're working with Universal to see if we can pull this off before I'm in the old folks' home."
Detta går lite hand i hand med vad DeMonaco redan berättat för The Hollywood reporter förra året när han sa följande.
"I've written [The Purge 6]. I didn't think I was going to write six, but then I woke up about six months ago with an idea. I thought I was definitely finished with The Purge franchise. (Laughs.) And then the events of January 6th happened and the incredible amount of discord in this country came up. So I woke up with this idea, and I pitched it to Jason [Blum] and Sébastien [K. Lemercier], my producers. Eventually, I pitched it to Peter Cramer at the studio [Universal], and they all loved it. They said, "Go write it." So I just finished it about a month ago, and it also marks the return of the Frank Grillo character, which I think is fun for the audience and for me. I love Frank. It's the return of the Leo Barnes character. Everything takes place about ten to fifteen years after Forever Purge, and when we enter into the movie, America has been completely remapped. The country has broken down. We've taken the divisiveness into remapping the country, and we've broken down into very strong tribal lines in this new map of America. So I think it's an interesting place. I would say it's like chapter two. We're restarting in this new world."
