Run Hide Fight: Infidels: Release Date, Cast, Plot, Trailer and Everything We Know
Last updated: August 7, 2026
Run Hide Fight: Infidels is an upcoming action thriller starring Jonathan Majors and the next installment in the Run Hide Fight franchise. Written and directed by Kyle Rankin, who also made the original 2020 film, the standalone sequel moves the action from a high school to a college campus while introducing an entirely new group of characters.
The film is scheduled to premiere exclusively on DailyWire+ in Fall 2026, although an exact release date has not been confirmed on the currently available official DailyWire+ or Bonfire Legend pages. The first teaser arrived in June, followed by a larger marketing push ahead of the planned release.
Majors leads an ensemble cast that also includes JC Kilcoyne, Tyler Aser, Stephen Hailo, James Bingham and David Lucas.
Here is everything currently known about Run Hide Fight: Infidels, including its release, story, cast, trailer, connection to the original movie and the controversy surrounding the production.
What Is Run Hide Fight: Infidels?
Run Hide Fight: Infidels is a 2026 American action thriller and the next film set in the Run Hide Fight world.
Kyle Rankin returns as writer and director after directing the original Run Hide Fight, which starred Isabel May as high school student Zoe Hull.
Rather than continuing Zoe’s story, Infidels introduces new characters and a different setting. Bonfire Legend describes the movie as the “next installment in the Run Hide Fight world,” making it essentially a standalone sequel rather than a traditional continuation.
The movie is produced in association with The Daily Wire and Bonfire Legend and will be released through DailyWire+.
Is Run Hide Fight: Infidels a Sequel to Run Hide Fight?
Yes. Run Hide Fight: Infidels is a sequel to Run Hide Fight, although viewers should not expect it to continue directly from the first movie.
The connection is primarily through the franchise concept and returning filmmaker Kyle Rankin.
The original movie followed Zoe Hull, played by Isabel May, as she tried to survive and protect others during an attack on her high school.
Infidels moves the setting to a college campus and introduces Jonathan Majors as one of the central characters. No original Run Hide Fight cast members have been officially announced as returning.
Because of that structure, Infidels can effectively be watched as its own movie without requiring viewers to know the complete story of the original.
When Is Run Hide Fight: Infidels Coming Out?
Run Hide Fight: Infidels is currently scheduled for release in Fall 2026.
DailyWire+ describes the film as “coming exclusively to DailyWire+ this fall,” while production company Bonfire Legend also lists it for Fall 2026.
An exact premiere date is therefore best considered unconfirmed until it appears through an official release announcement.
The movie will be released exclusively through DailyWire+, rather than through a traditional wide theatrical rollout.
What Is Run Hide Fight: Infidels About?
Run Hide Fight: Infidels takes place on a college campus where a pro-Palestinian encampment is taken over by radical Islamist terrorists.
According to the film’s official premise, the extremists attempt to seize control of the campus and establish their own system of rule. A group of students, a campus security guard and a former Delta Force soldier are forced to respond to the crisis.
Jonathan Majors plays the military veteran at the center of the story.
The premise retains the basic survival-action structure of the original Run Hide Fight while substantially changing the political setting, characters and threat.
The filmmakers have openly positioned the movie as a throwback to muscular American action films from the 1980s. Producer Dallas Sonnier has cited movies and filmmakers associated with that era, particularly Red Dawn, as influences on the project.

Confirmed cast members include:
- Jonathan Majors
- JC Kilcoyne
- Stephen Hailo
- Tyler Aser
- James Bingham
- Sharon Johal
- Charlotte Delaney Riggs

Additional actors appear in the film’s wider ensemble.
Majors plays a former Delta Force soldier and author who becomes involved in the confrontation at the college.
IMDb currently lists Kyle Rankin as both writer and director, with Ben Shapiro, Dallas Sonnier and several others among the film’s producers.
Is Isabel May in Run Hide Fight: Infidels?
There is currently no indication that Isabel May is returning as Zoe Hull.
May was the central character in the original Run Hide Fight, but Infidels appears designed as a standalone story with new characters.
That distinction is important for viewers expecting Run Hide Fight 2 to directly continue Zoe’s story.
Instead, the filmmakers are expanding the Run Hide Fight concept into another siege-and-survival story set in a different environment.
Who Is Directing Run Hide Fight: Infidels?
Kyle Rankin wrote and directed Run Hide Fight: Infidels.
Rankin also wrote and directed the original Run Hide Fight, giving the two movies a major creative connection despite their different characters and stories.
The film is associated with The Daily Wire and Bonfire Legend, the production company headed by Dallas Sonnier.
Bonfire Legend’s official site lists Rankin as director and Majors, JC Kilcoyne, Tyler Aser, Stephen Hailo, James Bingham and David Lucas among the starring cast.
Run Hide Fight: Infidels Production and Filming
The movie was initially reported as an untitled Jonathan Majors action project before its connection to Run Hide Fight became public.
It was filmed under the working title Knuckle and was reportedly produced on a relatively modest budget compared with major Hollywood action movies.
The production also attracted media attention following disputes over conditions on the set and an accident involving Majors and JC Kilcoyne.
Reports said members of the crew raised safety concerns during production, while IATSE became involved in the dispute. The producers publicly rejected the criticism.
Despite the disruption, the project moved forward and entered its promotional phase ahead of its planned Fall 2026 premiere.
Is There a Run Hide Fight: Infidels Trailer?
Yes.
The first official Run Hide Fight: Infidels teaser appeared in late June 2026.
It introduced the college-campus premise and Jonathan Majors’ character while establishing the movie’s political and action-oriented tone.
The promotional material combines scenes from the fictional story with references to real-world terrorism and campus protests, making it clear that the filmmakers intend the movie to engage directly with contemporary political tensions.
DailyWire+ officially hosts the teaser and describes the movie as coming exclusively to the service in Fall 2026.
Why Is Run Hide Fight: Infidels Controversial?
Run Hide Fight: Infidels attracted controversy almost immediately after its premise became public.
Critics have accused the movie of presenting Muslims and pro-Palestinian student activism through an inflammatory lens, particularly because its story connects a campus protest with an extremist takeover.
Supporters and the filmmakers have instead presented the movie as deliberately provocative fiction inspired by traditional action movies and contemporary security concerns.
The teaser’s use of imagery connected with real terrorist attacks and recent political events intensified that debate.
The movie has also received attention because it represents another major starring vehicle for Jonathan Majors following the significant disruption to his Hollywood career after his 2023 conviction on misdemeanor assault and harassment charges.
The controversy means Infidels is likely to generate discussion extending well beyond its performance simply as an action movie.
Where Can You Watch Run Hide Fight: Infidels?
Run Hide Fight: Infidels will stream exclusively on DailyWire+ when it is released.
No Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu or other major streaming release has been announced.
There is also currently no confirmed wide theatrical release.
That strategy follows The Daily Wire’s broader approach of using original films and television productions to build its own subscription entertainment platform.
How Does Infidels Connect to the Original Run Hide Fight?
The two movies share a similar basic concept but tell separate stories.
In Run Hide Fight, a group of attackers takes control of a high school while student Zoe Hull attempts to survive and help her classmates.
Infidels shifts the action to a college campus where a different group of characters faces a different threat.
Kyle Rankin wrote and directed both films, and Dallas Sonnier’s Bonfire Legend is connected to both productions.
The shared creative team, survival premise and franchise title link the movies even though their characters and storylines are separate.
What Happened in the Original Run Hide Fight?
The original Run Hide Fight premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September 2020 before The Daily Wire acquired North American distribution rights.
The movie starred Isabel May as Zoe Hull alongside Thomas Jane, Radha Mitchell, Eli Brown and Olly Sholotan.
Daily Wire released the movie through its platform in January 2021.
The film received sharply divided reactions.
Rotten Tomatoes currently lists a 30% critics score from 20 reviews but a much higher 93% audience score from more than 1,000 ratings, highlighting a significant gap between professional critics and viewers.
Despite the critical reception, the film developed enough of an audience for the concept to return several years later with Infidels.
What Makes Run Hide Fight: Infidels Different?
The biggest difference is scale and subject matter.
The original was largely built around one teenager’s attempt to survive an attack on her school.
Infidels expands the concept into a larger ensemble action story involving college students, campus security and a military veteran.
It is also far more explicitly political.
Where the original primarily used the structure of an action-survival thriller, Infidels incorporates contemporary arguments surrounding radical Islam, campus activism, the Israel-Gaza conflict and political polarization in the United States.
That shift appears intentional and is likely to make the sequel significantly more politically debated than its predecessor.
