Kyle Richardswas there when theHalloweenfranchise began in 1978 and she’ll be there when it ends next year. She’s set to reprise her role as Lindsey Wallace, the girl Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) babysat in the first movie, for the upcomingHalloween Ends, per a report fromVariety. She previously made her return inHalloween Killsearlier this year.
Richards' return comes in part due to a warm fan reception to her reappearance inHalloween Kills. Originally, there were no plans for Wallace to appear in the final chapter ofDavid Gordon Green’sHalloweentrilogy, but they changed course after audiences loved her performance. Wallace survived her second encounter with Michael Myers in the film, bringing her story full circle from the originalHalloweenin which she faced down the killer as an eight-year-old with her playmate Tommy Doyle and Strode.
“When my character didn’t die, I was like, ‘Uhh, hello!'” Richards said in an interview with Variety regarding her return, also expressing excitement to potentially share the screen with Curtis as they had in the series’ beginning. “The last movie, I saw Jamie on the set, but we didn’t have stuff together. So I’m really hoping that there is more stuff together. I can’t talk about any storylines, but all I can say is that we start filming in January, and I’m so excited to return with Jamie Lee Curtis and David Gordon Green.”
