M3GAN is getting a SOULM8TE in a new spin-off thriller from Atomic Monster and Blumhouse

M3GAN is getting a spin-off in the shape of SOULM8TE, which is being billed as a 1990s erotic thriller.

In SOULM8TE, a man acquires an Artificially Intelligent android to cope with the loss of his recently deceased wife. In an attempt to create a truly sentient partner, he inadvertently turns a harmless lovebot into a deadly soulmate.

Kate Dolan (You Are Not My Mother) will direct the film, according to Deadline. Dolan rewrote an original draft written by Rafael Jordan (Salvage Marines), with the story by James Wan, Ingrid Bisu and Jordan.

“Fundamentally, I view this film as an exploration of relationships and loneliness,” said Dolan. “Despite technological advances, there are enduring human truths we cannot escape, and I am looking forward to delving into those depths.”

“SOULM8TE is a thrilling and seductive addition to the M3GAN universe. We’re excited to partner with Kate to bring this story to life with her unique cinematic vision and point of view,” said Wan.

James Wan and Jason Blum will produce SOULM8TE. Michael Clear and Judson Scott, of Wan’s Atomic Monster banner, will executive produce, along with Ingrid Bisu. Alayna Glasthal is the executive leading the project for Atomic Monster.

SOULM8TE is due out on 2nd January 2026.
