M3GAN Spin-off Soulm8te Is a Technological Erotic Thriller

A M3GAN spin-off to the franchise of horror films is in the works in the form of an erotic thriller named Soulm8te.

The film, according to Variety, will center around a man that “acquires an Artificially Intelligent android to cope with the loss of his recently deceased wife,” the film’s synopsis explains. “In an attempt to create a truly sentient partner, he inadvertently turns a harmless lovebot into a deadly soulmate.”

What do we know about the M3GAN spin-off?

Not too much is known about the upcoming movie, but it is being described as centering around the feel of “90s domestic thrillers” but with a technological twist. Kate Dolan (You Are Not My Mother) will direct the film, which is tentatively scheduled to release on January 2, 2026.

“Fundamentally, I view this film as an exploration of relationships and loneliness,” said Dolan in a statement announcing the new project. “Despite technological advances, there are enduring human truths we cannot escape, and I am looking forward to delving into those depths.”

Alongside directorial duties, Nolan also rewrote an original draft written by Rafael Jordan, while the story is being credited to James Wan, Ingrid Bisu, and Jordan.

After breaking out as a hit in 2023, a sequel to M3GAN, titled M3GAN 2.0, is currently in the works. That film will see stars Allison Williams and Violet McGraw reprise their roles from the original movie, and is scheduled to release on June 27, 2025.
