Production for the third installment of the Sicario franchise is officially targeting a start date in early 2027. A report from October 2, 2026, had suggested the Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan would return to write the screenplay for the new chapter.
Creative and Business Development
While Sheridan wrote the first two entries in the series, the project is navigating changes in its business infrastructure. While Lionsgate served as the distributor for the first two films, the studio is not currently attached to the third installment. This development suggests a new distribution partner may be involved as the film moves toward its 2027 filming schedule.
Franchise History
While Brolin and del Toro appeared in the 2018 sequel, Sicario: Day of the Soldado, Blunt’s character was absent from that entry. Specific plot details for the upcoming production remain under wraps, but the project remains on track for its early 2027 kickoff.
