Isabelle Fuhrman will return as Esther in upcoming prequel Orphans, which was just acquired for U.S. distribution by Republic Pictures. And filming on the movie has now wrapped.
Check out a behind the scenes shot of a bloodied Isabelle Fuhrman below while we wait for more. It seems likely that Orphans will be released sometime in mid-late 2026.
William Brent Bell (Orphan: First Kill, The Boy) directs Orphans from a script by David Coggeshall (Orphan: First Kill, The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia).
Stephen Moyer (“True Blood”), Susanne Wuest (Goodnight Mommy), and Simon Man (“Westworld”) also star in a film that will expand the saga in “bold and unexpected ways.”
Director Jaume Collet-Serra’s Orphan introduced the world to Esther back in 2009, and Isabelle Fuhrman later reprised the role for the 2022 prequel movie Orphan: First Kill.
Isabelle Fuhrman teased that the third film will be “wilder and crazier.”
