Releasing of Hotel Transylvania 4
The film’s theatrical release was canceled several times in August 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. So the hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation sequel airing date moved up twice and rescheduled once. Sony canceled the releasing plan and sold the film’s distribution rights to Amazon Studios for $100 million. Watch the trailer of the fourth Transylvania below.
Still, the fourth series of Transylvania was not available on every streaming service, and Sony is still planning to make it available in China, where it is not streaming anywhere. As this franchise faced many uncertainties due to pandemics both in making as the production has to be done remotely and the release time passed through several extensions spent between Hotel Transylvania 3 and 4, these can be the reasons why there are no talks about the Hotel Transylvania 5 yet.
Is there any Hotel Transylvania 5?
Hotel Transylvania 4 was announced as a wrapping installment, so it seems that Hotel Transylvania 5 will not happen soon. It is common that profitable franchises do not wrap up as concluded. This practice can be observed in several of Disney’s live-actions or sequels and even in the remake of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings set to broadcast by Amazon in 2022.

Moreover, Transylvania 4 shows some potential room in the characters’ stories to work on soon. It also had proved that if a sequel lacks its main cast, it can be re-casted as it was done by Adam Sandler’s “Drac” that voice-over by Brian Hull in the fourth installment of Transylvania. This film received mixed reviews and critics too.
The story of Hotel Transylvania 4 Sequel
In Transylvania 4 that staring Count Dracula, Mavis (Selena Gomez), Jonathan (Andy Samberg), along their friends celebrated the hotel 125th anniversary; Drac gave a surprise announcement that he had made a plan to get retirement and handed over the hotel to his daughter Mavis and her human husband, Johnny. Johnny and Mavis made many changes to the hotel at the ending, so Hotel Transylvania 5 can easily focus on them to create an entertaining and exciting story even if Drac opposes those changes. The last scenes of the franchise showed how the hotel was reconstructed when it was torn down by the guinea pig of Professor Van Helsing (Jim Gaffigan) and avoided a cliffhanger ending.
Release date of Hotel Transylvania 5
We have come to know that there is no announcement regarding the next sequel of Hotel Transylvania 4, so it is unlikely to happen soon. We are observing the timeframe of previous Hotel Transylvania movies. If Sony decides to come up to reprise the famous franchise monsters and human’ story in the next sequel will again follow the prior timeframe of 3 years, and it will probably come in 2025 for its fans.
