Plot: Four years after the traumatic events of Halloween 2018, the nightmare ends as Laurie Strode comes face to face with Michael Myers, once and for all.
No doubt that the series will continue but I don't think the creative team and definitely Curtis are going to be back again. They basically have to restart continuity again so Michael isn't a 65 year old man running around killing people.
Agreed. Unless they want to mimic the ending of the original movie, I really think there will be a definitive ending to this story. Ending it would also give them another reason to reboot the series in a few years.
Maybe they’re just doing some additional shooting to include more of Richards. Starting early 2022 with the expectation of a mid October release sounds awfully tightAlso, my understanding was that they shot Kills and Ends back to back but apparently, I shouldn't trust everything I read on the internet.
The original plan was to film them back to back, but the pandemic changed the plan.No doubt that the series will continue but I don't think the creative team and definitely Curtis are going to be back again.

I wouldn't worry because it's not like this is a big budget movie where it's going to shoot for four or five months and then have a mountain of effects shots to do. The script must be as complete as it's going to be so nine months might be tight but they'll shoot it in the winter and then they have the spring and summer to put it all together. TV shows can go from the page to the screen in two months.
That's basically all correct but Michael being an old man in these movies is necessary since they brought back Jamie Lee Curtis and are using the original movie's history which dictated that they couldn't pretend that he's not an old man now. IF they don't have Laurie finally kill Michael (after the ending of Halloween Kills, I don't see any way that they can't end it with her killing him) and Curtis leaving the series, they'll need to reboot the movies anyway so they'll also make Michael a younger man and they'll probably avoid mentioning a year he was born so they can run with that new continuity for a long time.Isn't Michael already an old guy?
In the 2018 "Halloween", he would've been 61. Since "Kills" takes place the same night, he'd be the same age there.
"Ends" isn't supposed to follow "Kills" immediately - not sure how much after "Kills" it'll take place, but not the same night.
Michael will still be at least 61 but he could be as 65 if they place "Ends" in 2022.
I don't think most people think about Michael's age anyway. Ya gotta take a massive suspension of disbelief to accept the character's actions and survival - if you can swallow his essentially supernatural presentation, you can accept a 60-something dude doing it!
No, I'm a huge nerd
so I know Michael was born in 1957 and that makes him 61 in the 2018 movie and Kills. I meant more about the inevitable reboot of the series. That way in ten or fifteen years when they're still periodically churning out sequels, he won't be a geriatric serial killer.
