The news was revealed at horror studio Blumhouse's first-ever BlumFest event on Thursday (October 29).

As well as reprising his role as Dalton's father Josh Lambert, Wilson will also direct the film.
"I'm honoured and thrilled to be at the helm of the next Insidious instalment, which will provide an amazing chance to unpack everything the Lamberts went through a decade ago, as well as deal with the consequences of their choices," said Wilson.
"Directing the movie is both professionally and personally a full circle moment for me, and I am extremely grateful to be entrusted in continuing to tell this frightening and haunting story. Into the further we go."
Producer Jason Blum added: "One of the primary reasons the interest and appetite from fans has lasted for Insidious is because the people involved in the first film have stayed involved and kept it vital, interesting and good. I'm so grateful to our collaborators on the franchise."
Franchise creators James Wan and Leigh Whannell are also producing. The latter created the story for the sequel, which has been adapted by Halloween Kills writer Scott Teems.
