An exciting new psychological-thriller will be making its way to Netflix in 2021! Starring Amy Adams, The Woman in the Window saw a series of theatrical delays, which eventually lead it to the hands of Netflix. Scheduled for release sometime this year we’re keeping track of everything you need to know about The Woman in the Window, including the plot, cast, trailer, and Netflix release date.
The Woman in the Window is an upcoming Netflix Original psychological-thriller directed by Joe Wright. The screenplay was written by Tracy Letts which was based on the novel of the same name by author A. J. Finn.
Prior to Netflix acquiring the distribution rights to the movie, The Woman in the Window had been scheduled for a theatrical release in October 2019. Reshoots pushed the film’s release to May 2020, which was then canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The film was first announced to be released in the “middle of 2021,” but in early March 2021, Netflix confirmed it would be released on May 14th, 2021. It’s been almost three years since The Woman in the Window began production, so we imagine everyone involved in the thriller’s creation is eager to see it finally released.

When and where did the production of The Woman in the Window take place?
Principal photography began in New York City, on August 6th, 2018, and wrapped up filming two months later on October 30th, 2018.
Some reshoots did take place as director Joe Wright explained to IndieWire in January 2021:
There were some plot points that people found a bit confusing I would say possibly too opaque maybe. So we had to go back and clarify certain points, but I think also we tried to make sure we didn’t oversimplify anything and make things too clear. There’s an enjoyment in not knowing what’s going on, but at the same time, you have to give the audience something to hold on to you have to lead them through the labyrinth of mystery and fear.
The first test screenings left some audiences confused, which was why reshoots were required.
