Paranormal Activity Is Coming to Broadway in August 2026

It was announced today that the smash-hit, Olivier Award nominated new play Paranormal Activity: A New Story Live on Broadway will arrive on Broadway next season.

Written by Levi Holloway (Grey House) and directed by Felix Barrett (Sleep No More), Paranormal Activity will begin performances Friday, August 14, 2026 and officially open Tuesday, September 15, 2026 at the August Wilson Theatre for a strictly limited, 20-week run.

Paranormal Activity is based on the Paranormal Activity films, first written and directed by Oren Peli and brought to the screen by Blumhouse and Solana Films.

Director Felix Barrett said today, “New York is my home away from home. I fell in love with the city when making Sleep No More fifteen years ago, and always marveled at the way audiences engaged with the show. Having seen the incredible responses to Paranormal as it has toured the US, I’m beyond excited that it will be coming to Broadway and cannot wait to see how New Yorkers react!”

Playwright Levi Holloway said today, “That Paranormal Activity has earned the chance to trouble the sleep of Broadway audiences, that they’ll be immersed in the waking nightmare we’ve had the privilege to make, is the stuff of dreams. I offer it’s unlike anything else on the American stage right now; a work of horror, heart and absolute mischief borne from one of the most profound collaborations of my career.”

“Paranormal Activity changed the horror landscape, and bringing the franchise to Broadway allows us to continue expanding that world in a bold and immersive way,” said Josh Silverman, President, Global Products & Experiences, Paramount. “By combining the franchise’s signature suspense with the power of live theater, this production delivers an unforgettable live experience for the audience.”
