Miami Vice Movie Reboot Gets 2027 Release Date, Will Be Set in the 1980s

Joseph Kosinski's Miami Vice reboot explores 1980s Miami's glamour and corruption, filmed in IMAX with production starting in 2026 and a 2027 release date.

  • Director Joseph Kosinski has been tapped to helm Miami Vice , which Universal Pictures scheduled for release on Aug. 6, 2027.
  • Drawing on the show's first season, the film is inspired by the series' pilot and first season and explores mid-80s Miami's glamour and corruption; the original series was created by Anthony Yerkovich and ran five seasons on NBC.
  • Producers Dylan Clark and Joseph Kosinski have assembled a creative team, with Dan Gilroy and Eric Singer writing the script, casting underway, and production set to begin next year.
  • With Miami Vice booked for early August, Universal shifted an Untitled Universal Event Film to Friday, Sept. 24, 2027, after the 2006 Miami Vice feature directed by Michael Mann grossed $163.7 million but was commercially disappointing.
  • After Top Gun: Maverick and F1, Joseph Kosinski, who has been developing Miami Vice since last year and has other projects including an Apple UFO thriller, is one of Hollywood's hottest directors.
