Before cameras even started rolling, the "Fear Street" trilogy was always going to be an ambitious project. The original plan was for the three movies to come out in theaters one month after the next. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, that strategy had to be scrapped, and the trifecta made its way directly to Netflix (via GQ). While each installment releases on July 2, 9, and 16, respectively, the actual productions of the films got a little wonky at one point.
Filming on "Fear Street Part One: 1994" began in March 2019 (via Deadline). The final film to finish production was actually "1978," which wrapped in September (via Atlanta Magazine). The schedule ended up not making much of a difference, seeing how all three movies were delayed from the pandemic, so there was plenty of time to edit and finish them up before their Netflix releases. With these fun facts in hand, you can go back to watch the entire triumvirate with newfound appreciation.
