Del Toro's 'Frankenstein' Gets Theatrical and Netflix Release Dates

Guillermo del Toro’s adaptation of Frankenstein will premiere at Venice and Toronto festivals before a limited theatrical run and streaming on Netflix, continuing his passion for monster stories.

  • Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein will premiere with a limited theatrical engagement beginning October 17, 2025, followed by its release on Netflix starting November 7, 2025.
  • Del Toro’s decade-long passion project resumed after Netflix picked it up following a previous iteration that had stalled at Universal with Doug Jones attached.
  • The story follows Dr. Pretorius tracking Frankenstein’s monster, thought dead for 40 years, to continue Frankenstein’s experiments in 19th-century Eastern Europe.
  • The R-rated movie, which Guillermo del Toro calls “an incredibly emotional film,” stars Oscar Isaac, Mia Goth, Jacob Elordi, and Christoph Waltz, and is promoted with the tagline “Only monsters play God.”
  • The theatrical and streaming releases mark a rare dual approach for Netflix, reflecting del Toro’s long journey and suggesting eligibility for below-the-line Oscar categories.
