Everyone calm down, Macaulay Culkin will not be returning for another Home Alone film called Cabin Alone in 2024.

The internet went a little wild when a fan made a poster – which admittedly isn’t exactly convincing – teasing a new Home Alone film called Cabin Alone, but unfortunately, this is all it was.

A fan called YODA BBY ABY made a poster showing the now 44-year-old Macaulay wearing a Christmas jumper in a festive cabin, alongside Catherine O’Hara as his mum, and wrote: ‘NEW HOME ALONE!!! KEVIN AND HIS MOM!!!

‘This Christmas, Kevin McCallister and his mom arrive early to their family’s remote cabin, only to learn the rest of the family’s flight is delayed.

‘When Marv and Harry target the supposedly empty cabin, Kevin and his mom join forces to defend it in the ultimate showdown.

‘With snow-covered traps, outrageous pranks, and high-stakes holiday antics, they turn the quiet cabin into a thrilling battleground that’ll have you laughing and cheering.

A Home Alone fan made this mock up of a new film poster – but it isn’t grounded in any truth

‘Get ready for a wild holiday adventure with Cabin Alone, streaming on Disney+ this December!’

However, no official announcements or trailers have been distributed by Disney+ and the poster is wholly fan-made.

While Home Alone had a 2021 reboot in Home Sweet Home Alone, no further projects are in the works that we know of.

Cabin Alone wasn’t meant to be, but that doesn’t mean fans aren’t trying to manifest a return to the beloved festive franchise, as many commented on the poster with their Christmas wishes.

‘There needs to be another Home Alone and Kevin is the dad now!!’ wrote fan Patricia Torrens, while Rachael Taylor added: ‘This sounds so healing it’s a great idea.’

Others laughed at how crazy the internet went over the poster, as Alfie Jenner wrote: ‘The amount of people falling for this is astonishing.’

The 1990 original Home Alone film has become one of the most beloved Christmas flicks of all time, and grossed approximately $476million (£367mill) at the worldwide box office against a production cost of $18mill (£13.9mill).

Directed by Chris Columbus, Home Alone follows a troublemaking eight-year-old as he is mistakenly left at home by his family over Christmas, and is forced to fend off a pair of burglars who try to break into his home.

After its success, next came Home Alone 2: Lost in New York in 1992, when Kevin accidentally boards a plane to New York where there are, you guessed it, burglars.

Home Alone 3 saw a different boy, Alex Pruitt – played by Alex D Linz – plagued by criminals, while Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House was somewhat of a critical flop, and saw French Stewart take up the role of Kevin.

In 2012 Home Alone: The Holiday Heist starring Christian Martyn as Finn Baxter also wasn’t received well, and the 2021 film Home Sweet Home Alone, which was set in a vague similar universe to its predecessors but essentially had nothing to do with it, has just a 15% Rotten Tomatoes rating. Ouch.

Child star Macaulay is taking Home Alone on tour in the US at the moment, in a ‘nostalgic night’ with a screening of the original film and a Q&A.
