The Forever Purge is a 2021 American action horror film serving as the fifth film in The Purge franchise, serving as a sequel to The Purge: Election Year, and was originally intended as the final installment. Written and produced by series creator James DeMonaco, it was directed by Everardo Valerio Gout. The film stars Ana de la Reguera, Tenoch Huerta, Josh Lucas, Cassidy Freeman, Leven Rambin, Alejandro Edda, and Will Patton, and follows a group of people who attempt to escape the United States after an insurrectionist movement continues committing crime and murder nationwide after the 2049 Purge's ending.
