Are you ready for “THE LAST TEMPTATION OF BECKY”?

The teenage avenger is back, and this time she’s on an international mission.

Quiver Distribution and Post Film have announced that shooting has been completed in Northern Ireland on THE LAST TEMPTATION OF BECKY, the third in the franchise starring Lulu Wilson in the title role. Following up BECKY (2020) and THE WRATH OF BECKY (2023, pictured above), the new film was directed by Jenn Wexler (THE RANGER, THE SACRIFICE GAME) and scripted by Matt Angel, from a story by Angel and Suzanne Coote, who also penned WRATH. The cast also includes Neil Patrick Harris, Brandon Flynn, James Urbaniak and Kate Siegel (THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER, HUSH). The synopsis: “Now working as a field agent for the CIA, Becky [Wilson] is sent undercover to Poland to infiltrate a family of innkeepers who are running a tourist venture at The Wolf’s Lair, Hitler’s WWII bunker. After learning that the father, Wilhelm Reuss [Harris], is on a mission to bring about the Fourth Reich, Becky takes matters into her own hands.”

 “As a huge fan of the first two films,” Wexler says, “I am so incredibly excited to be a part of the BECKY universe and to help carry its legacy forward. Long live Becky!”

“With THE LAST TEMPTATION OF BECKY,” says producer Russ Posternak, “we’re delivering the biggest, bloodiest and most unhinged installment of the franchise yet, taking everything Becky fans love and turning it up to 11.”

“After the incredible audience response to the first two BECKY films, we are thrilled to have Lulu Wilson step back into this character that was made just for her,” say Quiver Distribution co-presidents Berry Meyerowitz and Jeff Sackman. “Having Neil Patrick Harris facing off against Lulu Wilson will take this series to a whole new level, and we can’t wait for audiences to see what Becky has in store for anyone who dares get in her way.” Neither can we!
