Netflix unveil 2025 movies release plan, including ‘Knives Out 3’ and Noah Baumbach’s ‘Jay Kelly’
Netflix has released its 2025 release schedule, which includes Knives Out 3, Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly, and several other upcoming film and television projects.
The plans were revealed at the streamer’s annual Next on Netflix presentation held at its headquarters in Los Angeles. Alongside unseen previews, Netflix’s chief content officer Bela Bajaria detailed a series of upcoming releases, some with additional special video footage from those involved in the projects.
While announcing the upcoming Frankenstein, for instance, Del Toro revealed he had wanted to make a movie re-imagination of the story for decades, saying, “The character has fused with my soul in a way that it has become autobiography. It doesn’t get more personal than this,” per The Hollywood Reporter.
The adaptation, which stars Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as Frankenstein’s monster, with accompanying names Mia Goth and Christoph Waltz, will arrive on the platform in November and was also accompanied by a still from the movie.
Other announcements included Baumbach’s Jay Kelly, which features Adam Sandler, George Clooney, and Laura Dern, alongside Rian Johnson’s Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, both set to arrive in the fall. The third instalment will feature Daniel Craig, Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, and others.
Among other announcements was the forthcoming arrival of Joe Carnahan’s RIP, starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, the long-awaited Happy Gilmore 2, and new arrivals Havoc starring Tom Hardy, Stephen Chbosky’s comedy Nonnas with Vince Vaughn and Suan Sarandon, a sequel to The Old Guard 2 starring Charlize Theron, and many more.
The titles offered across television are also some of those slated to draw in significant viewership, including the next instalments of Stranger Things, Squid Game, Wednesday, Emily In Paris, and more.
Evidently, this year will be one of the platform’s biggest yet, with Bajaria and the team working hard to offer the best in film and reinvent high-quality and engaging television content. “One of the biggest myths about Netflix is that we don’t do ‘prestige TV,'” she said, ” or we don’t do as much of it as we used to.”
She continued: “The most annoying thing about this myth, besides the fact that it’s not true, is that nobody knows what ‘prestige TV’ actually is. Is it a critically acclaimed show? Does it win awards? Is it a show audiences love? Is it one that people at your dinner parties in New York and LA talk about?”
