No Purge this year. Universal dates “The Purge 3” for July 1, 2016.

That July 1 release date is prime summer territory, and puts The Purge 3 up against Tarzan from Warner Bros. and The BFG from Steven Spielberg and Disney.

There’s no info there, but we do know a bit more about The Purge 3. In September The Purge: Anarchy actor Michael K. Williams said he will “most definitely” be back as Carmelo Jones, who Williams claims was “set up” by the authorities.

DeMonaco said at the time:

We’ll pass along more casting and story info on the film as it is made public.

I never imagined that The Purge would become the phenomenon it has become and I am thrilled to continue my collaboration with Blumhouse, Sebastien Lemercier, Platinum Dunes and the great team at Universal in building The Purge into a worldwide franchise.
