Production
After the success of Dusk and Dawn 2, Melissa Hester stated that the third Dusk and Dawn is in development. Kate Mallory stated that production has been on hold because they are still busy working on the Dusk and Dawn TV series. The third film has been in development hell for many years with Arc Productions abruptly closed down on August 1, 2016. On September 5, 2018, a third film is finally moving forward with Gregory Smith and Zooey Deschanel reprising their roles and Rob Connor directing the third film. In March 2019, Rachel Rooker was named co-director with Connor. In October 2019, it was announced that Anthony Hopkins, Christine Baranski, Dan Aykroyd, Isla Fisher, Nicole Kidman, Jeff Garlin, and Bill Nighy would reprise their roles in the third film; in addition, newcomers Jonathan Groff, Bobby Cannavale and James Corden have also joined the cast. In December 2020, the film's title was officially announced as Dusk and Dawn: A Zodiacal Night. Kate McKinnon and Matt Frewer later joined the cast the same month.
