It took a while, but we finally have a release date for Maze Runner: The Death Cure. After main star Dylan O’Brien was seriously injured in March 2016, they are able to restart production early this year. O’Brien was injured on set when the motorcycle that he was riding tipped over, causing him to be run over by a car. Luckily his recovery is doing rather well, since they are able to give us a new release date: January 12, 2018. Which is nearly a year after the previous one. Here is what we know so far:

1. The Story
The film will once again follow Thomas (O’Brien) and his surviving Gladers as they adjust to the post-apocalyptic world outside of the Maze they escaped. Our group of heroes will have to battle the forces of WCKD again to try and find a cure to the Flare, that has infected and destroyed most of the population. The teens will also, no doubt, have to find a way through their interpersonal difficulties as they deal with the extremely high stakes of their mission. Friendships and loyalties will be tested and the fight against WCKD will also determine who will survive.
