Rumored 'Home Alone' sequel with Macaulay Culkin sparks social media frenzy

A viral image featuring Macaulay Culkin has fans speculating a new 'Home Alone' sequel, though doubts persist.

Rumors of a new 'Home Alone' sequel titled 'Cabin Alone' featuring Macaulay Culkin reprising his iconic role as Kevin McCallister have ignited widespread interest on social media. Fans were thrilled when an image surfaced online on November 3, showing Culkin alongside on-screen mother Catherine O'Hara, with a caption hinting at a new movie premiering on Disney+ this December. According to the caption, "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."

Despite the excitement, many fans were quick to express skepticism about the image's authenticity. Commenters on the post noted it appeared to be digitally altered, with one Facebook user remarking, “The amount of people falling for this is astonishing,” while another observed, “Ummm. This looks so photoshopped.” These suspicions were validated when the image was traced to a Facebook page titled "YODA BBY ABY," which explicitly states it publishes satirical and fictional content.

This post follows Culkin's own announcement in September of a special US tour called 'Home Alone: A Nostalgic Night,' as reported by The Sun. Culkin will reportedly visit various cities, screening the original 'Home Alone' film, starting in states like Ohio and Illinois. While some fans eagerly shared their hopes for an actual sequel, the social media post's satirical intent has largely dismissed these speculations.
