Jun 20, 2024 8:09 PM

Blumhouse Productions has announced a new movie set in the M3GAN universe: an erotic thriller titled Soulm8te. Scheduled for a January 2, 2026 release, Soulm8te tells the story of a man who, to cope with the loss of his wife, uses an AI android that accidentally turns dangerous as it becomes a sentient partner. Directed by Kate Dolan, the film explores themes of relationships and loneliness. Producers James Wan and Jason Blum are on board, ensuring the film aligns with the creative vision that made M3GAN a success. M3GAN itself received positive reviews and is set to have a sequel released next June.

What is the plot of the new M3GAN spinoff, Soulm8te?

Soulm8te's plot revolves around a man who uses an AI android to cope with his wife's death. In trying to create a truly sentient companion, the AI becomes a dangerous entity, turning the story into an exploration of relationships and loneliness with a thrilling and seductive twist.

For those unfamiliar, M3GAN is a horror film released by Blumhouse Productions that gained attention for its eerie depiction of an AI doll gone rogue. The original film struck a chord with audiences and critics alike, leading to a sequel and now this new spinoff, Soulm8te. Blumhouse's success with horror films, combined with Atomic Monster's creative input, suggests that Soulm8te will deliver a gripping narrative while expanding on the intriguing premise of AI-human relationships.
