    NEW YORK (AP) --

    It will be another year before a new "Mission: Impossible" movie hits theaters. 

    Paramount Pictures and Skydance announced Friday that the release of "Mission: Impossible 7" will be pushed from Sept. 20 to July 14, 2023. "Mission: Impossible 8," previously set for July 2023, will instead open June 28, 2024. 

    It's the latest setback for a pair of blockbusters that have been much-delayed by the pandemic. Shooting on "Mission: Impossible 7" was put on hiatus in early 2020 because of COVID-19. After filming resumed in the summer of 2020, principal photography ultimately concluded by September 2021. 

    Paramount and Skydance attributed the postponements to pandemic-related delays. 

    "After thoughtful consideration, Paramount Pictures and Skydance have decided to postpone the release dates for Mission: Impossible 7 & 8 in response to delays due to the ongoing pandemic," said the film companies in a joint statement.
