Jumanji is back in game play mode as Sonys latest sequel of its hit franchise heads toward a November start of production in Los Angeles.

Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan are returning to star in the feature, which will once again be directed by Jake Kasdan. It has a release date of Dec. 11, 2026.

One new face in the feature will be Brittany OGrady, who may be best known for co-starring in the first season of Mike Whites HBO series, The White Lotus. Burn Gorman, who has appeared in movies such as Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds Snakes, is another new face on the roll call.

Matt Tolmach, Johnson, Dany Garcia, Hiram Garcia and Kasdan are producing the project, which has been in development under the radar until getting a greenlight and then hitting sprint mode to production.

Plot details are being kept in the console, but it is known that Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg wrote the script.

Jumanji is ostensibly based on the 1981 picture book of the same name by Chris Van Allsburg and that featured an enchanted board game come to life. That was the general basis of Sonys beloved 1995 movie starring Robin Williams.

Jumanji got a modern all-star update in 2017 with Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, with the board game now being a video game plus the trappings of body-switching movie: four teens find themselves trapped in the game while inhabiting adult-like avatars (Johnson, Hart, Black, Gillan). That movie grossed $962.5million worldwide, launching a veritable franchise. A sequel, titled Jumanji: The Next Level, was released in 2019 and grossed $800 million globally.

(l to r) Kevin Hart (Franklin Moose Finbar), Karen Gillan (Ruby Roundhouse) Jack Black (Professor Shelly Oberon) and Dwayne Johnson (Dr. Smolder Bravestone) star in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle Frank Masi/Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection Depending on your point of view, this new installment can be seen as the fourth entry in the series, as the 2017 movie did connect to the Williams story, or the third entry of the Johnson co. relaunch.

Alex Wolff, Madison Iseman, SerDarius Blaine, and Morgan Turner, who played the IRL characters in the previous movies, are expected to return as is Awkwafina, who appeared in the 2019 entry.

Character details for OGrady and Gorman were not revealed.

On top of her White Lotus breakout, OGrady will be seen as part of the ensemble cast of Kathryn Bigelows buzzy new dramatic feature, A House of Dynamite, which debuts on Netflix Oct. 24.

She was one of the stars of Its Whats Inside on Netflix, which debuted last fall after selling to Netflix as the largest Sundance sale of the year, and appeared opposite Daisy Ridley in Sometimes I Think About Dying and opposite Kevin Bacon in this years Tribeca selection The Best You Can.

OGrady, who also starred opposite Christoph Waltz in Amazons stylish thriller series The Consultant, is repped by CAA and Suskin/Karshan Management.

Gorman is repped by Verve and Management 360.
