A few weeks into their van life adventure, a young couple witnesses a horrific accident that leaves the driver dead. Soon theyâÂÂre being pursued by a demonic stalker whoâÂÂs impossible to outrun and follows them wherever they go.
In October 2024, it was announced that André ÃÂvredal would be directing a new horror film, with the script written by T.W. Burgess and Zachary Donohue, and produced by Walter Hamada and Gary Dauberman. In January 2025, Melissa Leo, Lou Llobell and Jacob Scipio joined the cast, with principal photography beginning that month. Christopher Young had composed the score.
Passenger is scheduled to be released in the United States by Paramount Pictures on May 22, 2026. It was originally scheduled for May 29, 2026, but was moved up a week to avoid competition with A24âÂÂs Backrooms (2026, Dir. Kane Parsons) and another Paramount film, Scary Movie (2026).
