WTF You Need to Know about the Leprechaun franchise

It’s time for a new episode of the WTF You Need to Know, and with this one we’re here to give you all the information you need about a franchise that is known for being so bad that it’s good: the Leprechaun franchise. To find out all about the bloody adventures of a leprechaun who doesn’t do a very good job of keeping track of his possessions, click play on the video embedded above!

Played by Warwick Davis, the villainous creature at the center of the franchise was introduced in the appropriately titled 1993 film Leprechaun. Davis returned Leprechaun 2 (1994), Leprechaun 3 (1995), Leprechaun 4: In Space (1997), Leprechaun in the Hood (2000), and Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood (2003). Professional wrestler Dylan “Hornswoggle” Postl played a monstrous leprechaun in the wrong-headed reboot Leprechaun: Origins (2014). And then Linden Porco was cast as the leprechaun in 2018’s Leprechaun Returns, a direct sequel to the first film.

Here’s the information on WTF You Need to KnowSometimes binging a whole franchise just isn’t feasible as there are only so many hours in the day. And you’re often left with a lot of questions like: What was that sequel you liked again? When did the series start getting bad? Which is the most fun?
