RUMORS have circulated that Macaulay Culkin and Catherine O’Hara could return for a brand new Home Alone movie.
The Home Alone franchise consists of six fabulously festive movies, two of which focus on the character of Kevin, played by Macaulay Culkin.

Who is Macaulay Culkin and who did he play in Home Alone?
Macaulay, 44, rose to fame when he played Kevin McCallister in the first Home Alone (1990).
The movie, which is about eight-year-old Kevin being forgotten about on a family holiday, ironically gets many of us into the Christmas spirit.
Abandoned, Kevin must protect his home from bandits, Harry and Marv, while his family try to return to him for Christmas.
Spoiler alert, Kevin’s mom, Kate, played by Catherine O’Hara, manages to get home to Kevin just in time for Christmas.

The whole family then reunites and all is well.
Macaulay also returned for Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992), but this would be the last of his Home Alone stint.

What is Cabin Alone?
On November 4, @YodaBBYABY posted to Facebook Macaulay and Catherine reuniting for a new home alone movie, Cabin Alone.
The post chronicles a storyline where Kevin and Kate plan a Christmas vacation in an isolated cabin but end up under threat by Harry and Marv once again.
The caption description also claimed that Cabin Alone will be released on Disney+ in December 2024.
At this moment in time, Disney has not confirmed the release of Cabin Alone.
The claims in the post are completely false and should not be considered factual news.
Even the intro on the Facebook page states all the posts made through the account are satire and fake news.
Based off this, it’s very unlikely Macaulay or Catherine will be returning for a new Home Alone movie.
The Home Alone tour
It isn’t all bad news, in September, TODAY announced Macaulay will begin a Home Alone tour on Saturday, November 30, 2024.
The tour will take off in Buffalo, New York and will continue for 15 shows across Erie, PA, Louisville, KY, Eransville, IN, Indianapolis, IN, Rosemont IL, Milwaukee, WI, Detroit, MI, Akron, OH, Johnstown, PA Reading, PA and Newark, N.J, and Wallingford CT.
The series is titled Home Alone: A Nostalgic Night with Macaulay Culkin.
And the tour synopsis reads: “Relive the iconic scenes and heartwarming moments from Home Alone on the big screen, and then dive deep into the behind-the-scenes stories and insights with Macaulay Culkin himself.
“Hear about his experiences on set, his favorite memories from filming, and his take on why this movie has become such a beloved holiday classic.”
Get in there while you can, as the tour officially ends on Sunday, December 15, 2024.
