The Witch: Part 3 Update?

Discussion

Has anyone heard anything about the Witch Part 3? The Witch Part 2: The Other One came out in 2022 and, though it wasn't as good as the first one (which was a perfect movie in my opinion), I'm hoping to see the 3rd part of the supposed trilogy. I tried looking around some but didnt see any information. Being that it's been 2 years since the part 2 release, I would like to think there would be some sort of update. Any info is appreciated!

A 4-episode spinoff is scheduled to release on Disney+ in the second half of this year.

Wow awesome! Have they announced a title? Thanks for the info!

The Tyrant.

Hollywood Reporter: This article doesn’t explicitly mention the ties to the Witch franchise, but read the synopsis and it’ll be obvious.

The creator, Park, said the new series is set in the same world as the Witch movies in some interviews with the Korean media, and I think that’s the definition of a spin-off, right?

One of the interviews is also cited by this Wikipedia article.

You sir are a hero, thanks for that info, didn't realise the tyrant was in the same world

Wow. Soooo happy! I just watched 1 and 2 again! Hurray! :-)

Just to clarify: Tyrant is in its own world and is a completely different series on its own. The director said in an interview with Korean media that it shares a similar worldview to ‘The Witch’ but never said it is set in the same world. The plot, characters, and details are very different. It is not a spin-off, and it has been confirmed it is a K-Drama spy series—‘The Witch’ is not a K-Drama, it is Korean action horror series.

A direct quote from Park in an interview with JTBC when his other movie The Childe was released:

"그리고 '귀공자'는 이야기 틀이 작은 이야기들인데, '폭군'은 사이즈가 크다. 많은 국가들이 나오기도 하고, 일단 능력자들이니까. 아직 편집도 안 끝난 작품이라 뭐라 말하기 어렵기는 하지만 '마녀' 시리즈와 세계관을 공유하는 이야기, 그 반대 쪽의 이야기이기 때문에 '귀공자'와는 조금 많이 다를 것이다"

He did very explicitly say, unlike The Childe, The Tyrant shares the world with The Witch series. He could have changed his mind in the past few months, but that statement was never taken back by Park or Disney.

Plot sounds nothing close to The Witch. Doesn't even have any original cast

Looking forward to the final chapter in the trilogy. I quite enjoyed the first two movies. I’m also hoping he will continue with New World. I had read somewhere that too is supposed to be a trilogy?

I saw that myself yesterday when I checked the major movie theaters in Korea. Nothing showing for the next 6 months on their "coming soon" tabs.
