About Leprechaun
Warwick Davis plays the killer Leprechaun in the first six films, which run from the 1993 original through Back 2 tha Hood (2003) with detours to Las Vegas, outer space, and Compton. Origins (2014) reboots the concept with Dylan Postl, while Returns (2018) ignores every sequel and continues directly from the 1993 film.
Release order works for a first watch, and the second list below groups the films by continuity.
Good to know
Leprechaun 4: In Space is set in 2096 but sits fourth in release order, so continuity viewers should save it for after the Hood films. Lionsgate announced a new film from writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan on August 7, 2026, with no release date set as of September 17, 2026.
