Based on the short story “The Forbidden” by Clive Barker, the original Candyman follows a graduate student named Helen Lyle who accidentally summons the vengeful ghost of an artist and son of a slave who was murdered in the late 19th century. The Jordan Peele co-produced Candyman is said to be a “spiritual sequel” to the original film.
Directed by Nia DaCosta from a script she co-wrote with Jordan Peele and Win Rosenfeld, Candyman stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Teyonah Parris, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Colman Domingo, and Tony Todd.
Candyman will be released in theaters on June 12, 2020.
