Frank Grillo Gives An Update On ‘The Purge 6’

Last year, the fifth installment in the The Purge franchise came out and we were told that it would be the last one.

Then, back in the summer, creator James DeMonaco retracted that statement, revealing that he would be writing a follow-up after all.

He wanted to bring back Frank Grillo as Leo Barnes, the character he played in both The Purge: Anarchy and The Purge: Election Year.

Now, Grillo himself has given an update regarding this plan to Empire Magazine:

 “I’ve got one more Purge movie left. James DeMonaco has the script. It focuses on the Leo Barnes character, and he wants to direct it. We’re working with Universal to see if we can pull this off before I’m in the old folks’ home.”

The movie would take place after the events of The Forever Purge.
