A24 has risen to a cult-like status. What other film production house sells out of its own merch or markets its own candle line? And as such, their films have become some of the most anticipated of the year. To join the A24 universe is akin to joining the Marvel<\/em> universe. Except, we’d argue, a little cooler.<\/p>\n

If you’re someone who’s already seen all the best A24 films so far<\/a>, we’ve curated a list of each and every upcoming release from the film studio for 2026. From pop star thriller films to bachelor party horror flicks.<\/p>\n

We haven’t heard too much yet about Pillion<\/em> \u2013 a story about the complexity of a BDSM relationship between a handsome biker and a directionless man. It’s a kinky exploration of queerness from director Harry Lighton. We, for one, will watch just about anything Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd is in anyway.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. The Moment<\/em><\/h2>\n

Perhaps one of the most exciting releases on the horizon is Charli xcx’s\u00a0<\/a>The Moment. <\/em>It’s slated as a meta look at the life of a pop star. Charli\u2019s longtime collaborator A. G. Cook composed the score too \u2013 so we know this one will have us itching to dance in our cinema seats.<\/p>\n

Zendaya and R-Patz as an elite couple announcing their engagement<\/a>? We’re sat. We’re also loving the meta marketing rollout for this one \u2013 inclusive of a full-page engagement announcement in the Boston Globe.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another of the A24 universe’s most anticipated films of 2026 \u2013\u00a0Mother Mary\u00a0<\/em>is a thriller about a pop star amid an identity crisis<\/a>, who seeks out the help of an old friend and legendary fashion designer, played by Coel.

While not technically a film, this A24 legal thriller series<\/a> is another we’re excited to see come to life in 2026. It’s starring Elle Fanning and Nicole Kidman as our dream mother-and-daughter duo. Interestingly, the path from short story to series was lightning-fast.

British actor Kit Connor just wrapped on Alex Garland’s A24 film Warfare,<\/em> but must’ve made an impression, as he’s apparently the front-runner for a lead in Garland’s next\u00a0project: a live-action adaptation of the genre-defining video game, Elden Ring<\/em><\/a>.
