Every New Movie Coming to Netflix in Fall 2023

Welcome to our preview of Netflix’s upcoming Original slate of new movies headed to the service throughout the remainder of 2023. Below, we’ll cover the English language and non-English language releases from August through December. 

There’s something for everyone from big biopics, thrillers, animation, fantasy, and action. We’ve purposely left out Netflix’s documentary slate for Fall 2023, which we’ve previewed separately. Big documentary features for the Fall include Sly (November 3rd) and Stamped From the Beginning (November 15th)

Looking ahead to next year, you can see all the movies Netflix has in the works for 2024 and beyond in our separate preview.

We should note that quite a few movies were originally expected to be released in 2023 but won’t anymore. Those include:

• Lift, originally scheduled for August 2023, will now be released on Netflix on January 12th, 2024.
• Society of the Snow will have its premiere at the Venice Film Festival but will release on Netflix in January 2024.
• Damsel, the fantasy action movie starring Millie Bobby Brown, has been pushed to a 2024 TBD release.
• A Family Affair, starring Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron, was originally scheduled to be released in November 2023 but will now be released in 2024.
• Other movies were originally expected to be released in 2023 but are now pushed back from the 2023 schedule. These titles include Monkey Man, Spaceman, Players, and Shirley.

Now, without further ado, here’s a look forward at every movie still yet to be released throughout the rest of 2023:
