villain was portrayed by Warwick Davis in the first six films.

film, which was written by Suzanne Keilly and directed by Steven
Kostanski. “Leprechaun Returns” comes to Syfy sometime next year.
Syfy is reviving the tongue-in-cheek horror franchise with “Leprechaun Returns,”
the eighth movie in the series and the first since’s 2014’s
“Leprechaun: Origins.”
That reboot was preceded by such revered entries
as “Leprechaun 4: In Space” and “Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood,” which is
to say that “Returns” has a lot to live up to. Watch the teaser trailer
