In 2025, Netflix will finally release its new horror thriller, Brick, headlined by Matthias Schweighöfer and Ruby O. Fee. Here’s everything we know about the film that headlines Netflix’s German slate for 2025. The film is scheduled (courtesy of a new social video) to release globally on July 10, 2025.
Philip Koch is the creator behind the project, and it serves as his third major Netflix Original project. The German writer, producer, and director previously worked on Tribes of Europa, which was sadly canceled after a single season. More recently, he wrote and produced the movie Sixty Minutes alongside Oliver Kienle, who also directed. Brick can be seen listed on his website alongside a slew of other development projects, such as Wittenberg, Vice, and The Sessions.
Alexander Fischerkoesen serves as cinematographer for the new movie, Anna Drubich as the composer, and Theresia Anna Ficus as production manager.
The official synopsis for the movie, rated TV-MA and has a runtime of 1 hour and 39 minutes, is as follows:
“Tim and Olivia’s apartment building is suddenly surrounded by a mysterious brick wall. They must work with their neighbors to find a way out.”
