The 12 Netflix original movies coming in 2025 that we're most excited for

Millie Bobby Brown, Chris Pratt and Cameron Diaz will lead new Netflix films in 2025.
  • A new "Knives Out" movie, "Happy Gilmore 2," and a new Guillermo Del Toro film are hitting Netflix in 2025.
  • They're some the year's most-anticipated movies.
  • Here's what to know about Netflix's most exciting upcoming movies.

2025 is shaping up to be a great year for Netflix.

Three films from 2024 broke into Netflix's all-time top 10 movie lists, which is on par with the year before.

But Netflix could beat that record in 2025, with highly-anticipated films like "Happy Gilmore 2," "Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery," "Frankenstein" and "The Electric State" all set to debut this year.

The first two are sequels to popular films, while the last two star big names like Oscar Isaac and Chris Pratt.

Here are 12 movies that Business Insider's entertainment team can't wait to see in 2025.

"Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl"
Gromit, a smart gnome and Wallace in "Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl."

Premiere date: January 3

Aardman Animation, a British stop-motion animation studio, is resurrecting its most popular franchise, "Wallace & Gromit."

The latest film, "Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl," is a sequel to the 1993 Oscar-winning short "Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers."

In that film, the lead pair brings a new lodger into the house who attempts to frame Wallace for a crime.

Now Feathers McGraw, the lodger, is back to try to take down Wallace again, using the help of an AI-powered gnome.

"Back in Action"
Cameron Diaz as Emily and Jamie Foxx as Matt in "Back in Action."

Premiere date: January 17

Cameron Diaz is literally back in action as she returns from a 10-year acting retirement for this new Netflix film.

Diaz and Jamie Foxx, who previously worked together on 1999's "Any Given Sunday" and 2014's "Annie," star as former CIA operatives who return to a life of espionage after starting a family together.

McKenna Roberts and Rylan Jackson play Diaz and Foxx's children, who are brought along on their espionage journey.

While the plot isn't anything special, many film fans will likely tune in to see Diaz's return.

"The Electric State"
Millie Bobby Brown and a group of robots in "The Electric State."

Premiere date: March 14

Before they tackle the next "Avengers" movie, directors Joe Russo and Anthony Russo have another comic adaptation coming in 2025.

"The Electric State," an adaptation of Simon Stålenhag's graphic novel, is a retro-futuristic sci-fi adventure movie about a young woman (Millie Bobby Brown), a drifter (Chris Pratt), and a group of robots who set off on a journey to find the woman's younger brother.

Many well-known names and former Marvel actors star on-screen or voice the robots in the film, including Ke Huy Quan, Giancarlo Esposito, Stanley Tucci, Woody Harrelson, Brian Cox, and Anthony Mackie.

Netflix seems to be betting big on the film, with reports from the Telegraph and Puck, citing unnamed sources, that the streamer spent over $300 million on it.

"Havoc"
Tom Hardy and Jessie Mei Li play two cops in "Havoc."

Premiere date: Spring 2025

Gareth Evans, the director of the ultra-violent "Raid" movies, is directing a new action-packed crime thriller for Netflix.

Tom Hardy plays Walker, a corrupt American cop who is tasked with finding a politician's son before he's arrested or the triads kill him. Along the way, he's helped by Ellie (Jessie Mei Li), a rookie cop and Walker's new partner.

Luis Guzmán, Timothy Olyphant, and Forest Whitaker also star.

"The Old Guard 2"
Charlize Theron stars as the lead in "The Old Guard 2."

Premiere date: July 2

When "The Old Guard" premiered in 2020, Netflix said it reached the streamer's list of its 10 most popular original films of all time. Five years later, it has been knocked off, but "The Old Guard 2" could come back for the crown.

The first film starred Charlize Theron, Kiki Layne, Marwan Kenzari, Luca Marinelli, and Matthias Schoenaerts as a team of immortal warriors who are tracked down by a pharmaceutical company that wants to torture them to learn the secrets behind their abilities.

The sequel's logline says that the immortal team will face a new threat in the next film. Henry Golding and Uma Thurman will be joining the cast.

"Fear Street: Prom Queen"
Olivia Scott Welch and Kiana Madeira in "Fear Street: Part One — 1994."

Premiere date: Summer 2025

In 2021, Netflix tried releasing a trilogy of films based on R.L. Stine's horror "Fear Street" over three weeks. It paid off, with all three movies sticking in Netflix's weekly top 10 most-watched English films for over a month.

Netflix will break away from this model next year when they release "Fear Street: Prom Queen," a solo movie based on R.L. Stine's work.

The film is set in the town Shadyside, like the other films, but the year is 1988, between "Fear Street: 1978" and "Fear Street: 1994."

Ahead of prom at Shadyside High, an outsider is nominated for prom queen, and other girls mysteriously disappear.

The film will have a new cast that includes David Iacono, Ariana Greenblatt, Suzanna Son, and Chris Klein.

"Rip"
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.

Premiere date: Fall 2025

From dramas like "Good Will Hunting" to comedies like "Dogma," friends and frequent creative collaborators Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have made a lot movies together.

Now, their production company Artists Equity is teaming up with Netflix to produce "Rip," a crime thriller inspired by true events.

The film follows a team of Miami cops who discover millions in cash in a stash house, leading to conflict within their own team and with external agents who want the money.

The movie is helmed by Joe Carnahan, who directed the 2010 "A-Team" movie, and stars Damon, Affleck, Teyana Taylor, Sasha Calle, and Steven Yeun.

"Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery"
Josh O'Connor will star alongside "Knives Out" lead actor Daniel Craig in "Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.

Premiere date: Fall 2025

The highly-anticipated third "Knives Out" movie is due to premiere in 2025.

"Wake Up Dead Man," written and directed by the series creator, Rian Johnson, is the second and possibly final "Knives Out" film produced by Netflix under a $469 million deal with Johnson and Ram Bergman, his producing partner.

The plot has not been revealed yet, but Daniel Craig will, of course, reprise his role as the southern detective Benoit Blanc.

He is joined by a new cast, including Josh O'Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack and Thomas Haden Church.

"Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" is currently the 10th most-watched English Netflix film of all time, setting big expectations for the next installment.

"Frankenstein"
Oscar Isaac stars as Victor Frankenstein in Guillermo Del Toro's "Frankenstein."

Premiere date: November 2025

Guillermo Del Toro, a director known for movies about creatures and monsters, finally brings his dream "Frankenstein" movie to life as part of his multi-year deal with Netflix.

Del Toro wrote the adapted screenplay of Mary Shelley's novel and directed the film.

The film stars Oscar Isaac as Doctor Victor Frankenstein, a scientist whose attempts to create life birth a monster, played by Jacob Elordi.

Rounding out the cast are Mia Goth, Felix Kammerer, Lars Mikkelsen, Christoph Waltz, David Bradley, and Christian Convery.

"Happy Gilmore 2"
Adam Sandler will reprise his role in "Happy Gilmore 2."

Premiere date: Unannounced

29 years since its premiere, "Happy Gilmore" is getting a sequel, thanks to Netflix's multi-million deal with Adam Sandler.

In the first film, Happy Gilmore (Sandler), a failed hockey player, becomes a golf tour champion to settle his grandmother's debts. The plot for the sequel has not yet been revealed, but Sandler will reprise the role alongside Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald, two other stars from the first film.

Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican rapper and singer, will also star in the movie.

While Sandler's Netflix movies have had low ratings from critics, many of them have become hits, including "Murder Mystery," which was the most-watched film of 2019.

"The Thursday Murder Club"
"The Thursday Murder Club" author Richard Osman with lead cast Sir Ben Kingsley, Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren, Celia Imrie.

Premiere date: Unannounced

Richard Osman's novel "The Thursday Murder Club" was an instant hit in 2020, selling over a million copies that year in the UK alone.

Now Osman is bringing his murder mystery to Netflix with an all-star cast that includes Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Sir Ben Kingsley, and Celia Imrie. They play a group of murder-mystery fans in a retirement home who stumble on a real case.

Chris Columbus, the director of the first two "Harry Potter" movies, will direct the film.

Murder-mystery shows and movies like "Only Murders in the Building" and "Knives Out" have become hits in recent years. With its popular cast and pre-existing fan base, "The Thursday Murder Club" could follow in this trend.

"The Twits"
Natalie Portman will star in the film.

Premiere date: Unannounced

Netflix is capitalizing again on its acquisition of the Roald Dahl Company with an animated film based on "The Twits."

The film follows two brave orphans and a family of magical animals as they try to save the city from Mr. and Mrs. Twit, a mean, smelly couple who have somehow risen to power.

Phil Johnston, Todd Demong, and Katie Shanahan directed the film. Emilia Clarke, Natalie Portman, Johnny Vegas, and Margo Martindale star.

Turkey arrests nearly 70 Afghan refugees in recent operation

Turkish police, after inspecting a freight vehicle in the city of Van, identified and arrested 69 undocumented Afghan refugees. According to the police report, five others were arrested on charges of human trafficking.

Turkish media reported on Friday, February 20, that the freight vehicle was detected while traveling from the organized industrial zone in Van to the western cities of the country. The authorities identified a group of Afghan refugees during the operation and transferred them to migrant detention centers, while five individuals were referred to judicial authorities for charges of human trafficking.

The operation to identify and detain undocumented migrants continues throughout Turkey. Just one week prior, police arrested 75 undocumented Afghan refugees in the cities of Erzurum and Sivas.

The increased deportation of Afghan refugees has raised significant concerns, especially in the context of the dire humanitarian crisis currently unfolding in Afghanistan. As refugees are being detained in countries like Turkey, Iran, and Pakistan, the lack of legal pathways for migration exacerbates the vulnerability of these individuals.

In Turkey, the authorities have been ramping up efforts to prevent illegal immigration, but these measures often leave Afghan refugees in precarious situations, stuck in detention centers with limited prospects for resettlement. This tightening of border control policies is seen as part of a broader strategy to manage migration, yet it highlights the challenges faced by refugees fleeing conflict and instability.

Similarly, in Iran and Pakistan, Afghan refugees are facing increasing deportation rates, contributing to a growing humanitarian crisis in the region. Many of these refugees are left without the necessary documentation to remain in these countries, pushing them into a cycle of displacement that is difficult to escape.

The rising deportations of Afghan refugees across Turkey, Iran, and Pakistan reflect the heightened geopolitical pressures and the growing humanitarian challenges faced by the Afghanistan population.

The post Turkey arrests nearly 70 Afghan refugees in recent operation appeared first on Khaama Press.
