Exclusive: Netflix's Blockbuster Lineup Unveiled - Millie Bobby Brown's Epic Fantasy and Nicole Kidman's Hilarious Comedy Now Scheduled for 2024!

Summary

Many upcoming movie titles, including Millie Bobby Brown's Damsel, have been delayed to 2024.

A Family Affair, Shirley, Spaceman, Lift, and Players are among the Netflix titles that are experiencing delays. However, it has not been confirmed if these delays are directly caused by the ongoing strikes.

Netflix has pushed back the release dates for six of their upcoming movies until 2024 due to delays caused by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) strikes. These strikes have resulted in numerous film and TV projects being postponed as actors and writers advocate for fair pay. Additionally, the strikes prevent stars from promoting affected productions, hindering their ability to reach audiences. According to Digital Spy, the six delayed titles from Netflix include Millie Bobby Brown's Damsel, originally scheduled for October 13. Other affected movies are A Family Affair starring Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman, Lift with Kevin Hart, Players featuring Damon Wayans Jr. and Gina Rodriguez, Shirley starring Regina King, and Spaceman with Adam Sandler. It is unclear whether these delays are a direct response to the ongoing strikes.

What's Left On Netflix in 2023?

Regardless of whether the strikes are causing delays, Netflix's sudden mass shift is unexpected. Normally, the streaming service has a stockpile of content ready in advance, providing a buffer even in the face of interruptions like the strikes. This was evident in 2020, when Netflix continued releasing new titles during the global production shutdowns caused by the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Notably, Bridgerton season 1 and The Prom premiered in December of that year.

Considering this precedent, the decision to delay titles is particularly surprising. However, it doesn't imply that Netflix will have no content until the end of 2023. Currently, numerous movies and TV series are still scheduled for release, including the spy thriller Heart of Stone starring Gal Gadot, Jamie Dornan, and Alia Bhatt, which is set to premiere on August 11.

Remaining titles on the slate for 2023 include Mike Flanagan's The Fall of the House of Usher, the reboot Spy Kids: Armageddon, and Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget. Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon is also set to be released on December 22. Currently, Netflix has not made any changes to its lineup of 2023 titles, but this may be subject to change if the strikes persist.
