Cloverfield Aftermath trilogy

The Cloverfield media trilogy is a planned set of media directly related to the original film in the Cloverfield franchise, an American science fiction anthology film series. Will consist of two independent theatrical sequels to Cloverfield (2008) and a prequel television series. It will be produced by Bad Robots Productions and distributed by Paramount Pictures. The concept of a linked trilogy was conceived during the early drafts of Cloverfield Sequel, when J. J. Abrams envisioned an extended franchise in early 2018 and confirmed that a fourth Cloverfield film would be made in June of the same year. The media trilogy was announced in late 2021.

The first installment, Cloverfield Later, was released on January 21, 2021. It was directed by TBA and written by Joe Barton. A second installment is planned to be released in 2-4 years, with Abrams and Minghella returning as producers. Additionally, an untitled prequel television series, centered on Tagruato, is planned to launch sometime before the second installment.

Early development
In March 2016, franchise creator and producer J. J. Abrams announced having plans in place for the future of the Cloverfield franchise, stating it "could be [something] really cool that connects some stories". Trachtenberg stated that developments for both a sequel to 10 Cloverfield Lane, or another standalone Cloverfield movie are being discussed.

In June 2018, Abrams confirmed that a fourth Cloverfield film would be made and was in development. He further described the film as a "true" and "dedicated" theatrical release sequel to the first film. In January 2021, Joe Barton was hired as screenwriter, while Abrams will serve as co-producer with Hannah Minghella. It was stated that the project will be a joint production between Bad Robot Productions and Paramount Pictures and unlike the original movie, it will not be shot in found footage format.
