The original movie spawned a 1995 sequel Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh and 1999 one Candyman 3: Day of the Dead, the latter which was direct to video.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_107835\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-107835\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload size-medium wp-image-107835\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 300 169'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Little-Woods-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-107835\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Little Woods with Lily James and Tessa Thompson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>DaCosta\u2019s recent crime drama feature Little Woods starring<strong> Tessa Thompson and Lily James<\/strong> made its world premiere at Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year and earned her the Nora Ephron Award.<\/p>\n<p>Production will start this spring and Universal Pictures will release Candyman in the U.S. on June 12, 2020.
