Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Looks like GLASS and UNBREAKABLE director M. Night Shyamalan isn't slowing down anything soon as today we have words that he will be penning and helming two new currently untitled thrillers for Universal Pictures. They will be released in February 2021 and February 2023.

Universal Pictures president Peter Cramer said in a statement:

M. Night Shyamalan continues to create exciting, highly original stories that keep global audiences on the edge of their seats. There is no one like him: he is a master filmmaker working at the height of his powers, and we are honored that he has once again chosen Universal to be the home for his next two incredible projects.

Shyamalan said:

There are wonderful studios out there, but Universal has made it a mandate to release original films. They are the best at finding an audience for new stories with unexpected tones. I believe original films are crucial to the longevity of the theatrical experience. I am so excited to be working with them again and bringing new stories to the movie screen for years to come.

That's all we know at this time. But that said, stay tuned and we will pass along word once we hear more. Until then, here's the rundown on his most recent film GLASS:

David Dunn tries to stay one step ahead of the law while delivering vigilante justice on the streets of Philadelphia. His special talents soon put him on a collision course with the Beast — the psychotic madman who has superhuman strength and 23 distinct personalities. Their epic showdown leads them to an encounter with the mysterious Elijah Price, the criminal mastermind who holds critical secrets.

Once again for the peeps that weren't paying attention above, M. Night Shyamalan will be penning and helming two new currently untitled thrillers for Universal Pictures that will be released in theaters on February 26, 2021, and February 17, 2023. Are you excited? Let us know below!
