Acclaimed West End thriller Paranormal Activity is coming back to London in autumn 2026.
The show has proved a critical and commercial success at the West End’s Ambassadors Theatre, and is currently scheduled to close on 25 April 2026.
The news today is that Paranormal Activity will be back, returning to the Ambassadors Theatre from 8 August to 3 October 2026.
The stage horror is based on Oren Peli’s blockbuster Blumhouse film franchise, and the stage adaptation was first produced at Leeds Playhouse last summer written by Levi Holloway (Grey House), and directed by Punchdrunk’s Felix Barrett.
Casting for the show’s London return is to be announced. The current West End production stars Patrick Heusinger (Jack Reacher: Never Go Back) as James, Melissa James (Moulin Rouge!) as Lou, Pippa Winslow (Bonnie & Clyde) as Carolanne and Jackie Morrison (An Inspector Calls) as Etheline Cotgrave, all reprising their Leeds Playhouse performances.
