The 2026 movie schedule has featured some ups and downs for the darling of the indie movie world, A24, with the massive success of Backrooms, but the tepid reception to The Death of Robin Hood. Then came You Can See Everything in September, and whoa, it's all anyone can talk about! Coming on the heels of Primetime, it's been a good month for the darling indie production house, even if Chris Rock's Misty Green didn't exactly tear up the box office (it'll be available with a Netflix subscription on November 9th).
And yes, we're still waiting for an update on that Barney movie! So without further ado, here's what you can expect from A24 for the rest of 2026 and into 2027.
Club Kid (November 6th, 2026)
One of the most hyped movies to come out of the 2026 Cannes Film Festival is Club Kid, from writer, director, and star Jordan Firstman, and also featuring Cara Delevingne and Diego Calva. It's already getting Oscar buzz, as well. The film drops in November, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of more award hype surrounding it when it does.
The Debut (December 11th, 2026)
Jesse Eisenberg crushed the last movie he wrote and directed, A Real Pain, in 2024, which earned him a nomination for Best Original Screenplay at the Academy Awards (and earning an Oscar win for Best Supporting Actor for Kieran Culkin). Now he's following it up with a musical comedy starring Julianne Moore and Paul Giamatti called The Debut. It's set to sing into our lives in December, once again in time for awards season. Like Club Kid, it's getting a lot of Oscar buzz for both Giamatti and Moore. Could Giamatti finally win his first?
Slayground (January 29, 2027)
The latest movie announced on this list, and the first A24 with an official 2027 release date, Slayground, comes from writer/director/producer Jeremy Saulnier. It's Saulneir's first movie since he won an Emmy for the Netflix movie Rebel Ridge. The horror-thriller stars Cory Michael Smith and Chase Sui Wonders, and it looks intense from the first trailer.
Elden Ring (March 3rd, 2028)
Alex Garland is set to continue his successful relationship with A24 with the studio's next video game adaptation. The Civil War and Warfare director is helming an adaptation of Elden Ring, which is a popular fantasy RPG created by Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin. I've never played the game, but I'm still excited about the video game adaptation because of the creative team involved.
Other Movies Scheduled For 2026
A24 also has a lot of movies on the plate for 2026, like the Jeremy Allen White-led Enemies. Here are the movies that we think will be released in 2026, but we aren't 100% sure when. In fact, we're getting so late in the year, and now A24 is announcing 2027 movies, so these may not see theaters until next year:
- Nuisance Bear (Limited Release in Los Angeles on November 6)
- Enemies
- Famous
- The Land of Nod
Additional 2027 Releases
Things won't be slowing down in 2027 for A24, with movies from Brad Pitt (The Riders) and the highly anticipated The Entertainment System is Down, with an all-star cast that includes Keanu Reeves, Kirsten Dunst, Daniel Brühl, Samantha Morton, Nicholas Braun, and Tobias Menzies, among others. It is directed by the acclaimed Ruben Östlund. Neither has a release date set, but things might be pointing to early in the year. We'll be sure to update this when they are announced! Here is the slate of 2027 releases planned by the studio:
- Altar
- Deep Cuts
- Flesh of the Gods
- Hillside Drive
- October Peaked
- The Chaperones
- The Entertainment System Is Down
- The Masque of the Red Death
- The Riders
- Wizards!
Films In Works
Finally, on the list, we have the movies that have been announced, but their status is currently unknown. This includes the much-talked-about Barney movie produced by Daniel Kaluuya and written by the star of The Bear, Ayo Edebiri.
We'll be honest, some of the movies on this part of the list have been in limbo for a very long time. For many, the status is very unclear. That includes Barney, as we've gotten no new information on the movie since it was announced in September 2025 that Edebiri had finished the script.
We'll be sure to add info to this part of the list once we have more:
- Ancient History
- Barney
- Bloodsport
- Breakthrough
- Bushido
- Death Stranding
- Dennis
- Hotel Hotel Hotel Hotel
- Jonty
- Mice
- Not Another F**king Wedding
- On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous
- Please
- Scapegoat
- Stages
- Talk 2 Me
- The Goblin
- The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store
- The LoomingThe Peasant
- The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
- Why Don't You Love Me?
As A24’s distinct brand and astonishing influence on the entertainment industry continue to grow, there is surely more to come.
