A new Hotel Transylvania film is headed to theaters.

Sony Pictures Animation and Amazon MGM Studios are set to release the fifth film in the animated franchise, The Haunting of Hotel Transylvania, in theaters on Oct. 8, 2027.

“Drac has happily settled into retirement while Mavis takes the reins of the legendary monster hotel. But when a series of spooky and unexplained happenings sends chills through the resort, the Drac Pack embarks on its most spellbinding adventure yet: uncovering the mystery behind The Haunting of Hotel Transylvania,” according to the new film’s official description.

Jennifer Kluska and Alan Hawkins are set to direct the film while Lawrence Jonas will produce it. Additionally, Genndy Tartakovsky and Michelle Murdocca are set to executive produce.

“From the beginning, Hotel Transylvania has invited audiences into a world where monsters feel like family,” Kristine Belson and Damien de Froberville, the presidents of Sony Pictures Animation, said. “These films have been a cornerstone of Sony Animation’s storytelling identity, blending a unique visual style with heartfelt, character-driven comedy. With this next installment, we’re honoring that legacy of heart and humor while delivering the unexpected surprises audiences love.”

Courtenay Valenti, the head of film at Amazon MGM Studios, said Hotel Transylvania is “one of those rare franchises that has become a beloved tradition for families around the world.”

“We’re thrilled to collaborate with Sony Pictures Animation to bring the Drac Pack back to the big screen and continue this legacy of inventive, character-driven storytelling that audiences have embraced for over a decade,” Valenti continued.

Hotel Transylvania premiered to theaters in 2012. It featured the voices of Selena Gomez, Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg and spawned three previous sequels, two of which debuted in theaters. The fourth installment, Hotel Transylvania: Transformania, premiered to Prime Video in 2022.

Federal judge blocks FIU from punishing group of students over silent anti-ICE protest on campus

By CNN
Click here for updates on this story    MIAMI (WFOR) -- A group of Florida International University students celebrated a legal victory over FIU administrators.A U.S. District Court Judge granted a motion to enjoin the university from enforcing regulations that punished members of FIU's student-led ICEBreakers group for a silent demonstration.In March, six students stood silently wearing T-shirts that said "ICE OFF FIU" in front of a crowd gathered inside a campus building to hear FIU President Jeanette Nunez interview a guest.Administrators initially ruled that the six students violated campus rules by causing disruption. The students had until September 4 to record a video explaining their behavior or risk a hold on their enrollment status. That hold can prevent students from registering for classes or receiving their diploma.Instead of complying, senior music education student Andrew Caro and others filed a lawsuit with the help of the American Civil Liberties Union.Those punished are part of FIU's ICEBreakers organization that pushes university leaders to keep Immigration and Customs Enforcement off campus."Knowing that we don't have to record that video and that our university will not go ahead with punishing us at least until the case finishes is absolutely overwhelming," Caro said. "Our Latino community is consistently under attack. They are being oppressed by our government and by the [Department of Homeland Security], and the fact that my university is complicit in that is the entire reason why we engaged in the demonstration."The ruling ordered the university to stop enforcing regulations punishing the ICEBreakers' conduct.The judge said the students and ACLU are likely to win their lawsuit because FIU administrators acted "without regard for whether" the demonstration "materially disrupts the school's operations."FIU's Senior Director of Media Relations Madeline Baró released a statement to CBS News Miami late Monday afternoon."FIU values freedom of expression and supports an environment that fosters civil discourse and the respectful exchange of ideas. At the same time, the university's responsibility is to maintain campus operations, support its educational mission, and ensure safety and access for all members of the university community. As this matter is pending litigation, we cannot comment further. We will comply with the court's order while considering our legal options."Please note: This story was provided to CNN Wire by an affiliate and does not contain original CNN reporting.
