Frank Grillo Stars In THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR Trailer; First Poster And Images Land

In his 2014 review of THE PURGE: ANARCHY, Michael Haffner wrote the exciting sequel “delivers suspense and action from start to finish.” He added he was “curious and very much excited to see what next year’s annual Purge has to offer.”

Fans will have the chance to see over the July 4th holiday when Universal Pictures’ THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR reveals the next terrifying chapter that occurs over 12 hours of annual lawlessness sanctioned by the New Founders of America to keep this country great.

It’s been two years since Leo Barnes (Frank Grillo) stopped himself from a regrettable act of revenge on Purge Night. Now serving as head of security for Senator Charlie Roan (Elizabeth Mitchell), his mission is to protect her in a run for president and survive the annual ritual that targets the poor and innocent. But when a betrayal forces them onto the streets of D.C. on the one night when no help is available, they must stay alive until dawn…or both be sacrificed for their sins against the state.

Once again returning to collaborate with franchise creator James DeMonaco on The Purge: Election Year are the series’ producers: Blumhouse Productions’ Jason Blum (Insidious and Ouija series, The Visit), Platinum Dunes partners Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Ouija series, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), and writer/director DeMonaco’s longtime production partner, Sébastien K. Lemercier (Assault on Precinct 13, Four Lovers).

The hit franchise electrified the culture and earned $200 million at the worldwide box office.

THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR opens in theaters on July 1.
