I have a love hate relationship with the Purge franchise. They’re bad movies but god damn they’re so entertaining. https://t.co/ts8LH3M2it

If it is set in Philadelphia and the title is going to be called “The Purge: Independence,” I might as well faint

The premise of the movies is that they take place in a dystopian future where there is a 12-hour period each year where all crime is legal, and madness ensues. You can see the trailer for the first film in the series below.
Besides the movie, the Purge also got made into a TV series and premiered last September on USA for 10 episodes. You can see the trailer for it below.
However, according to Metacritic, the series was one of the worst new TV shows of 2018 alongside Insatiable, Heathers and more.
Who knows what the theme of the next Purge movie will be, but we can’t wait to find out more information about the film in general.
