During the funeral of the British Prime Minister in London, the city is attacked by a large army of Islamic terrorists, killing five world leaders, damaging major landmarks and generating mass panic, masterminded by Pakistani arms dealer and terrorist leader Aamir Barkawi.

Night Has Fallen (TBA)

In November 2019, Alan Siegel announced that three additional Has Fallen films are in development.[1] In November 2020, the fourth film, titled Night Has Fallen, was given the greenlight with Butler confirmed to reprise his role as Mike Banning in addition to serving as producer. Waugh will return to the series as director, with a script he co-wrote with Kamen. The project will be a joint-venture production between G-BASE, Eclectic Pictures, Campbell Grobman Films, and Millennium Media. Alan Siegel, Heidi Jo Markel, Les Weldon, Jeffrey Greenstein, Jonathan Yunger, and Yariv Lerner will also serve as producers.[2]

In October 2023, after a lengthy lawsuit, it was confirmed that the monetary disputes between Butler and Millennium Media/Nu Image had been settled; while production on Night Has Fallen is expected to commence following the ending of ongoing actors and writers strikes.[3]

Future

Following the release of Night Has Fallen, at least two more movies will follow. In addition to the movies, Millennium Media has plans to expand the film series into a franchise with the addition of television spin-offs being considered.[1]

Television

In November 2019, it was announced that multiple television series spin-offs were being developed. Because of the film series' popularity in other territories, it was announced that plans include various television series to debut in foreign countries, with the idea being that each show's local mother tongues will be the spoken languages. Siegel stated that the intent for TV show installments, would be to expand the franchise and add additional characters to appear in future films.[1] In November of the following year, the studio confirmed development for a television series is on-going.[4]

Paris Has Fallen (TBA)

In November 2021, Head of Millennium Media Jeffrey Greenstein confirmed that a Has Fallen television series is in development and a priority for the studio.[5] Mathieu Kassovitz was tapped to lead the series, Paris Has Fallen, in May 2023, with StudioCanal producing and Howard Overman penning the screenplays.[6]
