1. Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew
Gerwig writes and directs the first screen adaptation of C. S. Lewis’s The Magician’s Nephew, an origin story about the creation of Narnia. Netflix is giving the film a worldwide theatrical and IMAX release before its streaming debut. Its combination of a well-known fantasy world, a major director, and a large cast makes it the most obvious event movie on this list.
2. Charlie vs. the Chocolate Factory
Netflix Animation’s film revisits Willy Wonka’s world with a new Charlie: a teenager whose friends plan to break into the chocolate factory to steal a valuable Wonka bar. Waititi voices Wonka, while Connor voices Charlie Paley. The film’s heist premise and unusual take on familiar characters should make it a major family-film conversation when it arrives.
3. Ink
Based on James Graham’s play, Ink dramatizes the world of tabloid journalism. Guy Pearce plays Rupert Murdoch, with Jack O’Connell as editor Larry Lamb. Its theatrical run begins in 2026, but its announced Netflix debut falls in 2027. Viewers outside the stated streaming regions should check their local release information.
4. Saturn Return
Kwedar’s follow-up to Sing Sing is a Chicago-set romance that follows its characters over a decade, from college-age hopes into the more complicated decisions of adulthood. The cast and long-span premise make this one to watch for viewers who prefer intimate dramas to franchise spectacle.
5. City Hunter 2
Ryo Saeba returns in a second Japanese live-action film based on Tsukasa Hojo’s manga. Suzuki reprises his role as the Shinjuku-based “sweeper,” alongside Morita as Kaori Makimura. Netflix has confirmed a worldwide 2027 premiere, making it one of the clearest international action picks for next year.
6. Under Paris 2
The sequel to the French shark film Under Paris is on Netflix France’s upcoming film slate. For now, the useful date is simply 2027: Netflix has not given it a precise streaming day. Fans of creature features can keep it on their watchlist without treating an unofficial month or plot rumor as settled.
7. High Tides: The Film
Netflix is continuing the High Tides story as a film. After time away, Louise returns to Knokke and unsettles the relationships her friends built in her absence. The movie should be especially appealing to viewers already invested in the series, though Netflix has described its 2027 release as an expectation rather than announced a firm date.
8. Villaflor
Set during Argentina’s military dictatorship, this historical political thriller follows Azucena Villaflor’s search for her son and an infiltration operation targeting people demanding answers about the disappeared. Mitre, the director of Argentina, 1985, has assembled a substantial international cast for a story rooted in real events.
9. Untitled Jessica Simpson Documentary
This feature documentary will explore Simpson’s life and career in her own words. Netflix has announced Pearlman as director but has not revealed a final title or premiere date. It could appeal to music fans as well as viewers interested in the distance between a public image and the person behind it.
10. Perfecta: La voz de Silvina Luna
Perfecta tells the story of Argentine model and actress Silvina Luna, drawing on footage she recorded herself during her final years. Netflix has announced the film for 2027. Its personal source material makes it one of the most distinctive nonfiction projects currently on the schedule.
Which 2027 Netflix Movie Should You Watch First?
For spectacle, start with Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew or Charlie vs. the Chocolate Factory. For star-led drama, keep an eye on Saturn Return and Ink. City Hunter 2 and Under Paris 2 offer returning international action and thrills, while Villaflor and the two documentaries bring real-life stories into focus.
Netflix may add more films or change dates before 2027. We’ll update this watchlist as exact premieres, trailers, and additional cast details are announced.
Editorial note: This list covers Netflix-produced or Netflix-announced films expected to reach the service in 2027, including Ink, which begins a select theatrical run in December 2026. Streaming availability may vary by territory.
