Evil Dead Rise is an upcoming American supernatural horror film written and directed by Lee Cronin. The film serves as the fifth installment in the Evil Dead franchise. The film stars Alyssa Sutherland, Lily Sullivan, Gabrielle Echols, Morgan Davies, Nell Fisher, and Mia Challis. The film follows two sisters trying to survive and save their family from demonic creatures known as Deadites.

The film's development was preceded by scrapped plans for sequels to Evil Dead (2013) and Army of Darkness (1992) that would have led to a crossover. By October 2019, Raimi announced that a new film was in development, with Robert G. Tapert producing, while Raimi and Bruce Campbell executive produce, and Cronin writing and directing the project. New Line Cinema (the first film's distributor) was announced as a production company involved, alongside Ghost House Pictures, Raimi's production company. Principal photography began in New Zealand on June 6, 2021, and wrapped on October 27, 2021.

Originally intended for a digital release on HBO Max, Evil Dead Rise is scheduled to be released theatrically on April 21, 2023, by Warner Bros. Pictures.
