New Movies Coming to Netflix in 2025 & Beyond

A new year is just around the corner. What new movies is Netflix slated to release in 2025 or 2026, or is it in development? Below is our bumper guide to every Netflix Original English-language movie coming up soon on Netflix. 

We’re going to split this movie preview into several parts, and it should go without saying that everything below is very much subject to change. First, we will cover movies that have been confirmed for a 2025 release. Then we’ll move into speculation using production dates for the 2025 releases, and then we’ll cap off with all the movies we currently know to be in development at the streamer.

Note that any title announced over two years ago without any additional recent updates in the development section will not be included. We’re doing this because of the change of leadership, meaning that priorities have shifted, and we’re also doing this to keep this list manageable for us and readable for you. This list also doesn’t consider the fact that Netflix has been acquiring more completed movies following their movie festival debuts and is also restricted to just English-language releases. Phew—let’s dive in.
