Instead of taking place after the second film, Jeepers Creepers 3 will apparently take place between the events of the first and second movies in the series — not unlike how Alien: Covenant bridges Prometheus with Ridley Scott’s original 1979 Alien film.
Rumors associated with the Jeepers Creepers franchise have been a dime a dozen in recent months, but the latest reports finally provide a decent timeline placement for Jeepers Creepers 3.
Because the Creeper is still very much around to cause mayhem during the events of the second film in the series, it seems highly unlikely that this group of hunters will succeed in their mission to kill this iconic monster.
Based on this rumor, it seems that the next film in the series will take place shortly after the first film’s conclusion, and center on a group of hunters on a mission to stop the Creeper’s reign of terror.
