The controversial mascot horror series “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey” isn’t over yet, and there are already details about the upcoming “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 3.” The franchise began in 2023 with its first film, transforming A.A. Milne’s classic character, Winnie-the-Pooh, into a murderous monster. This twisted take on the beloved children’s stories became possible when the character entered the public domain in the 2020s, allowing director Rhys Frake-Waterfield to create his own horror version.
Made on a tiny budget and quickly released to capitalize on the public domain horror craze, 2023’s “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey” was heavily criticized and received a sub-10% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite this, it became a sleeper box-office hit, prompting Jagged Edge Productions to green-light a sequel with a slightly higher budget. The 2024 sequel, “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2,” improved upon the original and saw immediate success, leading to the announcement of “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 3.”
Another Mascot Horror Rampage Is Coming Soon
Just days after the premiere of the second film, Jagged Edge Productions and director Rhys Frake-Waterfield confirmed that “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 3” is officially in the works. Despite the initial mixed critical reception of “Blood and Honey 2,” the film’s box office success has justified the production of another installment. Alongside the announcement of the third film, Frake-Waterfield and his team revealed that “Blood and Honey 3” will introduce Rabbit, another classic A.A. Milne character who has been absent thus far. Rabbit will join his fellow Hundred Acre Wood friends in their third chilling adventure.
Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood And Honey 3 Story
Despite Winnie-the-Pooh seemingly meeting his end with an axe to the head from Christopher Robin in “Blood and Honey 2,” the film quickly reveals that each monster possesses a healing ability. This means the ghoulish creatures will return to terrorize the town once more. While the plot details remain undisclosed, “Blood and Honey 3” has already confirmed the introduction of Rabbit, Heffalumps, and Woozles, with numerous unresolved storylines.
The revelation that Winnie-the-Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, and Owl are all creations of a mad scientist opens up endless story possibilities, especially with an expanding cinematic universe in development. Additionally, the newly revealed familial link between Pooh (actually Billy Robin) and Christopher, combined with the former’s history of murdering their parents, promises intense family drama. Whatever unfolds in “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 3,” it is set to deliver a thrilling and blood-soaked experience.
Winnie-The-Pooh: Blood And Honey 3 Cast
The cast of “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2” faced a grim fate, with many characters meeting their end at the hands of the murderous ursine, but a few managed to survive. These survivors are likely to reappear in the third film. While no official cast members have been announced for “Blood and Honey 3,” it’s expected that franchise hero Christopher Robin will once again be portrayed by Scott Chambers, who took on the role in the sequel. Similarly, Tallulah Evans’ character Lexy, who also survived her ordeal, might return to confront the Hundred Acre Woods monsters once more.
While the actors behind the masks could change between films, Ryan Oliva may reprise his role as Winnie-the-Pooh, especially as the character becomes more developed. Eddy MacKenzie might return as Piglet, alongside Lewis Santer as Tigger and Marcus Massey as Owl. Although the new role of Rabbit has been announced for “Blood and Honey 3,” the actor for this part has not been cast yet.
A prospective list of returning characters in “Blood and Honey 3” includes:
| Actor | Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey Role |
|---|---|
| Scott Chambers | Christopher Robin |
| Tallulah Evans | Lexy |
| Thea Evans | Bunny Robin |
| Ryan Oliva | Winnie-the-Pooh/Billy Robin |
| Eddy MacKenzie | Piglet |
| Lewis Santer | Tigger |
| Marcus Massey | Owl |
The Release Date Speculation
At this point, no release date has been revealed, and the timeline for the threequel remains unclear. “Blood and Honey 2” was released just a year after its predecessor and the third film could arrive just as quickly to capitalize on the franchise’s overnight success. Consequently, the movie can be expected sometime in 2025.
