Fifty Shades Freed is a 2018 American erotic romantic drama film directed by James Foley and written by Niall Leonard, based on E. L. James's 2012 novel of the same name. Produced by Perfect World Pictures, Michael De Luca Productions, and Trigger Street Productions, and distributed by Universal Pictures, it is the third and final installment in the Fifty Shades film series, following Fifty Shades of Grey (2015) and Fifty Shades Darker (2017). The film stars Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan as Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey, respectively, and follows the couple as they marry, and must deal with Ana's former boss Jack Hyde (Eric Johnson), who begins to stalk them.
Following the first film's premiere in February 2015, development on the sequels promptly began. By November 2015, Foley and Leonard were respectively hired to direct and write both sequels, which would be shot back-to-back in 2016. Principal photography on Fifty Shades Freed began simultaneously with Darker in February 2016, in Paris and Vancouver, and ended in July 2016. Composer Danny Elfman, who had scored the previous films, returned to compose the score for the final film.
Fifty Shades Freed premiered in Paris on February 6, 2018, and was released in the United States by Universal Pictures on February 9, including a limited IMAX release. Despite being a box office success, grossing $372 million worldwide against a production budget of $55 million, it was the lowest-grossing film of the trilogy. Like its two predecessors, Fifty Shades Freed received unfavorable reviews, with criticism for its screenplay and acting.
