About this listen

 Jordan Peele has had an exceptionally buzzy week packed with developments both behind the camera and in popular culture. The most headline-grabbing news from just the past day comes straight from IMDb and Hollywood.com—Peele’s next horror film, now officially titled Him, is slated for release in fall 2026 and a first teaser trailer has dropped, launching a wave of speculation and excitement in genre circles. This new project, originally called Goat, sees Peele producing through his acclaimed Monkeypaw Productions, teaming with producers Ian Cooper, Win Rosenfeld, and Jamal Watson. Notably, Justin Tipping, recognized for his sharp TV work and the indie feature Kicks, directs from a screenplay penned by Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie. With a creative team this stacked under Peele’s wing, expectations for Him are already soaring and industry outlets are quick to point out that after the successes of Get Out, Us, and Nope, Peele remains at the vanguard of American horror according to IMDb and 1428 Elm.

Stepping into the business side, there’s significant crossover buzz as well since Peele is listed among the high-profile clients of the management company formerly known as Principato-Young Entertainment, which just underwent a splashy rebranding to Artists First, as The Hollywood Reporter reveals. Peter Principato stays on as CEO, with Electus holding a majority stake, but the new name signals a renewed commitment to championing creative visionaries like Peele amid ongoing industry flux, an interesting power move in the Hollywood agency shuffle.

On the cultural and social front, Peele’s influence shows little sign of waning. The Hollywood Reporter on Threads and Instagram celebrated Get Out’s iconic opening set to Childish Gambino’s “Redbone,” ranking it among the forty greatest needle drops in cinematic history. Social media platforms were peppered with nostalgic shout-outs, reinforcing that Peele’s touch extends far beyond just directing—he’s become a central tastemaker in the fusion of music and film culture.

As a producer, Peele is also making waves with the upcoming horror thriller Weapons, due August 15. Written and directed by Zach Cregger and featuring a star-heavy cast led by Pedro Pascal, this Monkeypaw-backed film is getting early buzz for its potential to further cement Peele’s prowess as a producer of sharp, unsettling genre fare, according to RTE and Hollywood.com.

While not a public appearance in the talk-show or red-carpet sense, Peele’s signature on the horizon of both horror’s future and popular culture’s present is clear. No significant controversies or personal drama are reported, and major headlines currently emphasize his expanding creative empire and curation of pop’s most memorable moments.
