Filming on Universal’s seventh franchise installment Tremors: Island Fury had wrapped up before the pandemic halted all Hollywood productions, which means that the release of the direct-to-video sequel likely won’t be delayed. Speaking with the podcast Saved By Nostalgia last week, star Michael Gross suggested that Tremors 7 will be ready for release in October.

“[It’s] anticipated to come out in October, around Halloween of this year. As far as I know, it’s not been pushed back, since the editing process is something that doesn’t necessarily need a full studio to work on,” Gross told the podcast (full interview below).

He added, “Universal is by and large shut down – its theme parks, its movie and television production are down and out right now – but I think this post-production is still continuing.”

The cast also includes Richard Brake, Jon Heder, Caroline Langrishe, Jackie Cruz, Cassie Clare, Sahajak Boonthanakit, Matthew Douglas, Randy Kalsi, Bear Williams, David Assavanon, Boonma Lamphon, Aukrawut Rojaunawat, Owen Macrae, Iris Park and Mikey Black.

In the currently-titled Tremors: Island Fury:

“The deadly Graboids are back, illegally brought in to a new island resort by a rich playboy looking for a trophy hunt.”

Brian Brightly wrote the screenplay with Universal Home Entertainment regular Don Michael Paul returning to direct. He previously got behind the camera for Tremors 5: Bloodlines and last year’s Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell, as well as several other Universal home video titles.
