For over two decades, the Underworld franchise has captivated audiences with its dark, gothic atmosphere, intense action, and the never-ending battle between vampires and Lycans. Fans have long speculated about the possibility of Underworld 6, especially after Underworld: Blood Wars (2016) left the door open for further stories. But is a new installment really happening in 2025? Let’s explore the rumors, possibilities, and what we know so far.
Is Underworld 6 Happening?
As of now, there is no official confirmation of Underworld 6. However, speculation has persisted, fueled by past statements from producers and the fanbase’s ongoing interest. The last film, Underworld: Blood Wars, hinted at new directions for the franchise, particularly with Selene (Kate Beckinsale) gaining enhanced powers and the vampire-Lycan war far from over.
Yet, despite these open-ended story threads, Sony and Lakeshore Entertainment have remained quiet about a sixth installment.
Kate Beckinsale’s Future in Underworld
Kate Beckinsale, the face of the franchise, has been vocal about stepping away from the role of Selene. In an interview, she mentioned she wasn’t keen on returning for another Underworld movie. This could mean that, if Underworld 6 happens, it might introduce a new protagonist—or possibly focus on Selene’s daughter, Eve, who was briefly seen in Underworld: Awakening (2012).
What Could Underworld 6 Be About?
If the franchise continues, here are some possible story directions:
- Eve Takes Center Stage – With Selene stepping back, her daughter Eve, a powerful hybrid, could be the new lead. Underworld 6 could explore her journey and her role in the war.
- A New Enemy Emerges – While the vampire vs. Lycan war has always been at the core of the franchise, a fresh antagonist—perhaps an ancient vampire lord or a government force—could shake things up.
- Expanding the Underworld Universe – There have been talks in the past about a TV series. If a film isn’t greenlit, perhaps Underworld could continue in a new format.
Will Underworld 6 Release in 2025?
With no official production news, a 2025 release seems unlikely. However, if the studio decides to revive the franchise, an announcement could come at any time.
Final Thoughts
The Underworld series remains a fan favorite, and there’s still potential for future stories in its gothic, action-packed universe. Whether we get Underworld 6 or a spin-off series, one thing is certain—the battle between vampires and Lycans isn’t over just yet.
