The upcoming 2026 movie schedule is well underway, and A24 has already released some movies, like the very scary Undertone. The studio has a whole bunch more on the way, like the much-anticipated The Drama with Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, and more great A24 movies in this guide, including The Death of Robin Hood with Hugh Jackman, Jodie Comer, Bill Skarsgård, and Murray Bartlett, and Primetime (also with Pattison), coming later this year. Here's what we know about the movies from the indie studio that are on the way.

The Drama (April 3, 2026)

A24 veterans Robert Pattinson (Good Time, The Lighthouse) and Euphoria cast member Zendaya are teaming up for the first time in one of the most anticipated A24 releases of 2026, The Drama. It's the story of a couple whose relationship takes a turn for the worse on the eve of their wedding. The film will hit theaters in April and will be part of a very busy year for Zendaya.

Mother Mary (April 24, 2026)

Based on a mysterious Creepypasta, Backrooms is an animated, found footage-style YouTube series that explores an alternate dimension made up of a seemingly infinite maze of dingy hallways where bizarre and dangerous phenomena lurk. The viral sensation's young creator, Kane Parsons, partnered with A24 to develop and direct a big-screen feature adaptation of Backrooms starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Mark Duplass, and more. Production wrapped in August 2025, and we finally have a much-anticipated release date!

The Death Of Robin Hood (June 19, 2026)

We have not seen the last of the legendary thieving archer on the big screen, as A24 has landed the rights to The Death of Robin Hood. Hugh Jackman as the titular thief, along with Jodie Comer, Murray Bartlett, Noah Jupe, and Bill Skarsgård. Filming wrapped in March 2025, and we finally have a release date! A24 has released the first trailer, and frankly, it looks awesome.

The Invite (June 26, 2026)

The latest movie from director Olivia Wilde, The Invite, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2026 and is scheduled for a limited theatrical release in June. The film stars Wilde alongside Seth Rogan as a married couple who decide they need to...well...spice up their love life. Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton also star in the comedy.

Primetime (TBD)

There has been a re-evaluation of shows like To Catch a Predator lately, and Primetime, starring Robert Pattison, sounds like it might be another version of that idea, and I'm all for it. Like others, I've been wary of the way shows like the Chris Hansen-led infotainment show and other reality shows of the era exploited people, so hopefully this new one from A24 digs deep into that idea.

Enemies (TBD)

Jeremy Allen White is no stranger to Chicago. The actor has not only shot his hit TV show The Bear in Chicago for years now, and last year, he filmed Enemies there alongside co-star Austin Butler. There hasn't been a ton of info on the movie yet, but given the star power, it sounds like a 2026 release is likely.

Misty Green (TBD)

Misty Green is written, starring, and directed by Chris Rock, but it sounds like something from a side of Rock that we've not seen before. It is a straight drama. Rock has dabbled in drama before, but from the description of this one, the comedian has gone all in, forgoing his trademark humor for a much more serious side. It also has a great cast that includes Daniel Kaluuya, Adam Driver, Anna Kendrick, Topher Grace, and Slow Horses star Rosalind Eleazar in the titular role.

Tony (TBD)

The life of the late Anthony Bourdain will be dramatized in an upcoming biopic from A24 simply called Tony. From BlackBerry director Matt Johnson, the film will feature the breakout star from The Holdovers, Dominic Sessa, as the beloved chef and TV personality. Deadline reported in August 2025 that filming wrapped that month, and that Stavros Halkias was also in the cast, along with Antonio Banderas, Emilia Jones, Stavros Halkias, Monica Raymund, and Leo Woodall.

Wizards! (TBD)

Even before he was seen starring in one of the best horror movies of 2022, Bodies Bodies Bodies, former SNL star Pete Davidson was already set to reunite with A24 for another thriller called Wizards! In June 2022, Deadline reported that Orlando Bloom had joined the cast of the film – written and directed by David Michôd from a story by him and Joel Edgerton – in which Davidson and Franz Rogowski play stoners who stumble upon loot that puts their lives at risk.

The Entertainment System Is Down (TBD)

Writer and director Ruben Östlund’s follow-up to the Oscar-nominated Triangle of Sadness is yet another star-studded social commentary. According to Deadline, Kirsten Dunst and Keanu Reeves are among those set to star in The Entertainment System is Down as a group of international air travelers who must contend with their boredom when all means of entertainment on their plane suddenly fail. Production wrapped in April 2025, but it looks like we may not see it until 2027.

According to Deadline, originally Academy Award nominees Saoirse Ronan and Austin Butler were set to star in the adaptation of Holly Brickley's novel about two twenty-somethings' bond over music and their struggles with adulthood in the early 2000s. Due to scheduling conflicts, both Ronan and Butler have dropped out of the project, and in December 2025, it was announced in Deadline that Cailee Spaeny and Drew Starkey would be taking over the lead roles.

Mikey Madison proved her worth as a horror movie Scream Queen with her performance in 2022’s Scream. According to THR, the Academy Award winner (for Anora) is attached for another contribution to the horror genre with writer and director Charlie Polinger’s The Masque of the Red Death. It's described as a humorous, revisionist take on Edgar Allan Poe’s short story of the same name that A24 and Picturestart will produce.

Talk To Me Spinoff (TBD)

Following the success of Talk to Me, which some called one of the scariest movies in years, it is not so surprising that thrillseekers have another A24 horror movie franchise to look forward to. Just days after the acclaimed Australian shocker released, the company greenlit a follow-up called Talk 2 Me, which directorial duo Danny and Michael Philippou will helm, from a screenplay by Danny and Bill Hinzman. However, the latest news, according to Variety, is that the follow-up will be a spinoff, rather than a sequel, and it will be in 3D.

The Riders (TBD)

Conclave director Edward Berger will direct Brad Pitt in The Riders, a drama that will be produced by A24 in part with Ridley Scott's Scott Free. Based on Tom Winton's 1994 novel, the film will follow a father and daughter searching for the man's missing wife in Europe.

Barney (TBD)

Who could have anticipated that A24 would be involved in Mattel's plans to bring more of their properties to the big screen after Barbie, and that said project would be a Barney movie? Also involved in reviving the friendly purple dinosaur for cinema are producer Daniel Kaluuya and Ayo Edebiri, whose role is currently undisclosed. There hasn't been much more out there about the movie yet, but it's safe to say that people are very curious about this one.

Be My Baby (TBD)

According to Variety, Zendaya is attached to star in Moonlight director Barry Jenkins' Ronnie Spector biopic, based on the ’60s music icon's 1990 memoir, Be My Baby: How I Survived Mascara, Miniskirts, and Madness, or, My Life as a Fabulous Ronette. The project was announced in March of 2025, but there has been little news since.

Dwayne Johnson already has another A24 project to follow The Smashing Machine: a psychological thriller called Breakthrough. According to Deadline, the film, from writer Zeke Goodman, follows an impressionable young man who falls prey to a manipulative motivational guru, played by The Rock, in early 2000s Southern California.

Soon, A24 will give its first video game adaptation a go.

Following his acclaimed performance in The Iron Claw, Zac Efron is reuniting with A24 for an adaptation of Blake Crouch's bestselling novel, Famous. According to Deadline, the actor will play dual roles — both a Hollywood star and his obsessed fan — in the thriller from director Jody Hill, who is known for his collaborations with Danny McBride. Production reportedly wrapped in December 2024, and there hasn't been anything announced, so this one seems to be on the back burner for now.

Onslaught (TBD)

Controversial industrialist-turned-presidential advisor Elon Musk – who has had his fair share of movie and TV appearances already – will be the subject of a biopic in development at A24. Variety reports that Darren Aronofsky is set to direct the film, which will take inspiration from Walter Isaacson's 2023 biography about the SpaceX founder. When speaking to Gizmodo, Abigail actor Kevin Durand (who bears a striking resemblance to the wealthy South African) expressed interest in starring in the film. The film's current status is very much unknown, as there has been little news since it was announced in 2024.

As A24’s distinct brand and astonishing influence on the entertainment industry continues to grow, there is surely more to come. Also, keep an eye out for the upcoming A24 TV shows heading to the small screen.
