It’s titled MaXXXine, set in 1985 and coming soon!Watch a teaser trailer for MaXXXine below, which reveals the title treatment.
Deadline reports, “Mia Goth will be back and reprising one of the two roles she played in X. It follows Maxine (Goth), after the events of X, as the sole survivor who continues her journey towards fame setting out to make it as an actress in 1980’s Los Angeles.
“The film hasn’t yet been shot but is on a fast track after being greenlit by A24,” Deadline also notes in their exclusive report. “It all stems from X, which launched Goth as the survivor of a porn shoot that goes awry when their hosts in rural Texas see what they are doing and the cast and crew ends up fighting for their lives. West wrote the script.”

Pearl, meanwhile, takes place in 1918, decades before the events of X, with Mia Goth reprising the role of X‘s killer. In this year’s slasher X, Goth played the dual role of Pearl, a senior citizen, and Maxine, the film’s final girl. The film ends with Maxine killing Pearl, who along with her husband Howard had been brutally slaying Maxine’s friends throughout the movie.
But where did Pearl’s story begin, you ask?
“Trapped on her family’s isolated farm, Pearl must tend to her ailing father under the bitter and overbearing watch of her devout mother. Lusting for a glamorous life like she’s seen in the movies, Pearl’s ambitions, temptations, and repressions all collide, in the stunning, technicolor-inspired origin story of X’s iconic villain.”
