Eggers cowrote the script with his “The Northman” scribe Sjón. Like “Nosferatu,” “Werwulf” will be getting a holiday release; the film is set to premiere Christmas Day 2026.

Robert Eggers is biting into his next horror project. Eggers is reteaming with Focus Features for his next film “Werwulf,” a werewolf horror feature that he will direct from a script he co-wrote with Sjón,

Nosferatu was Eggers’ remake of the 1922 Dracula-like thriller by the same name. It starred Lily-Rose Depp and Nicholas Hoult as a couple besieged by Count Orlok, played by Bill Skarsgard. It also featured Willem Dafoe, who has appeared in all but one of Eggers’ films, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson and was set in a German port in the 1830s.
