In June 2024, it was announced that a spin-off of M3GAN (2022) was in development. Kate Dolan signed on to direct and rewrite the original draft by Rafael Jordan,[3] that was based on a story by James Wan, Ingrid Bisu, and Jordan.[3][4] It is described as a science fiction erotic thriller.[5]
Lily Sullivan, David Rysdahl, and Claudia Doumit joined the cast in lead roles.[6][7] Oliver Cooper, Steve Chusak, Emma Ramos, and Ossian Perret were also cast in undisclosed roles.[8][9] Principal photography was completed by November 2024.[10] Narayan Van Maele served as the cinematographer,[11] while John Cutler edited the film.[12]
Release
Soulm8te was previously scheduled to be released by Universal Pictures in the United States on January 2,[13] and January 9, 2026,[14] before being pulled from the release calendar while the studio sought a new distributor for the film.[15] In March 2026, Universal was listed as the distributor according to the Motion Picture Association of America in 2026 after it received an R rating.[16]
On July 8, 2026 Universal released the film's trailer, revealing that they would still distribute the film but had changed course to a straight-to-digital release rather than a theatrical run.[2]
