Indie studio A24 has been banging out consistently great movies for years now, and the 2026 movie schedule has featured some ups and downs for the studio. There are a bunch of movies still to come in '26, on the heels of the massive success of Backrooms and the tepid reception to The Death of Robin Hood. Coming out in the next few months are the highly anticipated Tony, the biopic about the early career of Anthony Bourdain, and Primetime starring Robert Pattinson. We'll also get into where some of the more high-profile movies like Barney (yeah, the purple dinosaur) stand these days.
Tony (August 24th, 2026)
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. Emilia Jones, Stavros Halkias, and Antonio Banderas also star. The first trailer for Tony dropped in May 2026, and it definitely sparked a lot of conversations. The film will be released on August 24th, 2026.
Onslaught (September 4th, 2026)
After the trailer for Onslaught was released by A24 in early June, it quickly jumped to the top of my list of most anticipated movies of 2026. Directed by Adam Wingard and starring Adria Arjona and a host of other great actors. This action movie looks completely bonkers in the best possible way. We'll finally get to see it when it hits theaters in September.
Primetime (September 18th, 2026)
There has been a re-evaluation of shows like To Catch a Predator lately, and Primetime, starring Robert Pattinson, 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. The trailer dropped for Primetime in June, and it'll be in theaters on September 18th.
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 features Cara Delevingne and Diego Calva. The film drops in November, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of 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 found him nominated 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.
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 that have not received release dates. These include the Chris Rock-directed Misty Green and the Jeremy Allen White-led Enemies. Here are the movies that we think will be released in 2026, but aren't 100% sure when:
- Misty Green
- Enemies
- Nuisance Bear
- Famous
- The Land of Nod
2027 Releases
Things won't be slowing down in 2027, either, 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. Nether 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
- OctoberPeaked
- 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 from producer Daniel Kaluuya and written by 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.
