As of this writing, "Insidious 5" has not been officially announced yet. However, it has been reported that it is likely to happen and that unlike "Insidious: Chapter 3" and "Insidious: The Last Key," the fifth movie will not be a prequel but will take the story in a different direction.
"Insidious 4: The Last Key" was a prequel that recounted the origin of parapsychologist Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye). Its working budget was just about $10 million, making it the most profitable movie in the "Insidious" franchise.
As for its cast, nothing is known yet. However, there are speculations that if "Insidious 5" will head to a different direction, then it might no longer see Shaye's return as Elise Rainier as the movie might focus on a new set of characters instead.
