Robert Eggers to Direct ‘Labyrinth’ Sequel!

We've heard rumors of a Labyrinth sequel for years and now it looks a little closer to actually happening as Robert Eggers has signed a deal to create a new Labyrinth film.

Deadline is reporting that Eggers, who recently directed the hit vampire film Nosferatu, will to both write and direct the sequel to the Jim Henson classic.

Nosferatu was just nominated for four Academy Awards for Cinematography, Costume Design, Production Design, and Makeup and Hairstyling and will be followed up by Werwulf, before Eggers starts production on Labyrinth.

Plot details are under wraps, but Deadline was told the film is a sequel and not a remake of, 1986 film.

Eggers is writing the script with Sjón, his collaborator on the 2022 Viking film The Northman, with whom he’s also working on Werwulf.

Chris and Eleanor Columbus will produce alongside Lisa Henson, with Brian Henson executive producing.
