Talk to Me’s Universe Expands — I Let You In Possesses Meta Quest in Spring 2027
You close your eyes and count to ten. When you open them, you’re not in your bedroom anymore — you’re in Ibiza, the music is too loud, and a circle of strangers is passing around a ceramic hand like it’s a party favor. Someone says “talk to me.” Someone always says it. And you — you reach out.
Put the headset on, ghouls — the hand works in VR now.
THE FACTS: The Talk to Me universe is expanding to television — sort of. I Let You In, a six-episode immersive series, will debut exclusively on Meta’s Quest headsets and VR glasses in spring 2027, per a Variety exclusive. Directed by Craig William Macneill, the series follows young travelers chasing the ultimate party in Ibiza who get hooked on conjuring spirits — “a supernatural high deadlier than any drug.” The cast: Charlie Hiscock, Aubri Ibrag, Raff Law, Sofia Hublitz, Charlotte Maggi, and Julio Peña. The first-look poster dropped this week.

Full disclosure, up front, because that’s how we do things here: this is an announcement with a poster, not a trailer. Nobody’s strapped into a headset yet. But the Philippou brothers aren’t just lending their universe’s name — they’re executive producing alongside the Causeway team that backed the original. That’s a seal of embalmed authenticity.
And fiends, the hand is getting busy: the Philippous have also secretly shot a short-form prequel centered on Duckett (that opening scene — you remember), told through phones and social media, and A24 has greenlit Talk 2 Me — with two separate scripts written, one following the survivors, one following new blood. The ceramic hand is officially a franchise.
The Verdict: No skulls on an announcement — but the concept? Five skulls of potential. A possession story you experience from inside the possessed? That’s the scariest seat in the house, and the house is your own skull.
