Deadline reports that actor Patrick Wilson will be making his feature directorial debut for the upcoming fifth (!) installment of the popular INSIDIOUS horror franchise!

Here's what Wilson had to say about the upcoming project:

I’m honored and thrilled to be at the helm of the next Insidious installment, which will provide an amazing chance to unpack everything the Lamberts went through a decade ago, as well as deal with the consequences of their choices. Directing the movie is both professionally and personally a full circle moment for me, and I am extremely grateful to be entrusted in continuing to tell this frightening and haunting story. Into the further we go…

Meanwhile, no official start or release date announced as of yet, but we'll keep you posted!
