TL;DR
Guillermo del Toro’s long-gestating Frankenstein adaptation finally lands on Netflix in November 2025 after making its North American debut at TIFF. The director calls it a “Miltonian tragedy”—a faithful yet emotionally layered take on Mary Shelley’s classic, complete with his signature gothic visuals, practical effects and haunting score. A first teaser premiered at TUDUM 2025, teasing a dark, sumptuous drama exploring the bond between creator and creation.
This epic boasts a star-studded cast—Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein, Jacob Elordi as the Monster, Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz as Dr. Pretorius, plus Charles Dance and more—and wrapped filming in spring 2024 across Toronto and London. It’ll get a limited theatrical release before streaming (à la Pinocchio) for awards eligibility, runs about 2h 29m, and kicks off del Toro’s next Netflix slate, including The Buried Giant and a vampire project called Vampire Tapestry.
