Blumhouse Productions is set to thrill audiences once again with the latest addition to the M3GAN Universe. Following the anticipated release of M3GAN 2.0 in theaters on June 27, 2025, fans can look forward to the spinoff horror movie, SOULM8TE, which is scheduled to hit theaters on January 2, 2026.
A ’90s-Style Erotic Thriller with a Technological Twist
SOULM8TE promises to bring a unique flavor to the M3GAN Universe, blending the essence of a ’90s-style erotic thriller with a modern technological twist. Directed by Kate Dolan, known for her work on “You Are Not My Mother,” the film presents a fresh and intriguing take on the genre. Dolan took the reins to rewrite the original draft penned by Rafael Jordan (“Salvage Marines”), based on a story by James Wan, Ingrid Bisu, and Jordan.
Plot Synopsis
The narrative of SOULM8TE centers around a man who, grieving the loss of his recently deceased wife, acquires an Artificially Intelligent android to fill the void in his life. However, his attempt to create a truly sentient partner goes awry, transforming a seemingly harmless lovebot into a deadly and possessive soulmate.
Exploring Deep Human Truths
Dolan expressed her vision for the film, stating, “Fundamentally, I view this film as an exploration of relationships and loneliness. Despite technological advances, there are enduring human truths we cannot escape, and I am looking forward to delving into those depths.” Her approach suggests a thought-provoking examination of human emotions against the backdrop of advanced technology.
Excitement from the Creators
James Wan, who produces through his company Atomic Monster, shared his enthusiasm, saying, “SOULM8TE is a thrilling and seductive addition to the M3GAN Universe. We’re excited to partner with Kate to bring this story to life with her unique cinematic vision and point of view.”
The Legacy of M3GAN
The original M3GAN film, released in 2022, was a viral sensation, grossing $180 million worldwide and establishing a solid fanbase for Blumhouse’s horror creations. Given the massive success of the first film, it’s no surprise that Blumhouse is keen to expand the universe further.
