From ‘Beverly Hills Cop 4’ to ‘Hit Man’ – Everything That’s Coming to Netflix in 2024
Netflix is wasting no time as it begins to unveil its feature film and feature documentary lineup for 2024 filled with A-list starpower, festival pickups and some long awaited comebacks.
Among the biggest titles on its way is Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, the fourth in the box office blockbuster franchise from 1984-1994 featuring Murphy as Detroit cop Axel Foley transplanted to sunny southern California. While the first two films were massive hits, the third was a bomb both critically and at the box office. While there isn’t a specific rollout for Axel F on or before its July 3 release, it won’t have the stigma of a poor theatrical showing now that’s moved from Paramount to the streamer.
The return of Cameron Diaz has been 10 years in the making with her last feature film appearance being in 2014’s movie musical remake of Annie. Quite literally called Back in Action, Diaz co-stars with Jamie Foxx in this action thriller as former CIA spies pulled back into the game after their identities are exposed.
Lee Daniels returns with the exorcism drama The Deliverance starring Oscar-winning and Oscar-nominated actresses Andra Day, Glenn Close, Mo’nique and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor.
The Adam Sandler and Carey Mulligan drama Spaceman will premiere at the Berlin Film Festival later this month before receiving a limited theatrical release on February 23, landing on Netflix a week later on March 1.
Some major festival pickups are headed your way this year: Richard Linklater’s Hit Man, starring new rom com box office king Glen Powell will get a June release. It was bought after its Venice and Toronto premieres last year. Also from Toronto last year is Anna Kendrick’s directorial debut Woman of the Hour, which will see a 2024 release, as well as Azazel Jacob’s His Three Daughters, starring Carrie Coon, Natasha Lyonne and Elizabeth Olsen. Just last week the streamer shelled out $17M for the horror film It’s What’s Inside out of Sundance. That will be out this year as well.
2024 will see Oscar winners Halle Berry, Regina King and Nicole Kidman with new films on the streamer as well as Jennifer Lopez, Taron Egerton, Kerry Washington, Lindsay Lohan and more.
Here’s what you can look forward to from Netflix in 2024.
ORION AND THE DARK (February 2)
Orion seems a lot like your average elementary school kid –– shy, unassuming, harboring a secret crush. But underneath his seemingly normal exterior, Orion is a ball of adolescent anxiety, completely consumed by irrational fears of bees, dogs, the ocean, cell phone waves, murderous gutter clowns, even falling off a cliff. But of all his fears, the thing he’s the most afraid of is what he confronts on a nightly basis: the dark. So when the literal embodiment of his worst fear pays a visit, Dark whisks Orion away on a roller coaster ride around the world to prove there is nothing to be afraid of in the night. As the unlikely pair grow closer, Orion must decide if he can learn to accept the unknown –– to stop letting fear control his life and finally embrace the joy of living.

LOVER, STALKER, KILLER (February 9)
Documentary. Dave was recently out of a long-term relationship and eager to restart his romantic life, so he did what most people do: He tried online dating. Liz and Cari were two of his most promising connections, both single moms with winning personalities who helped bring him out of his shell in different ways. It should have been an opportunity for this hard-working, devoted dad to enjoy a second chance at casual romance, but it turned into a twisted love triangle, putting Dave and everyone he cared about at risk. Using interviews with those involved – including the law enforcement officers who cracked the case – alongside vivid reenactments that bring viewers into the tension and paranoia of Dave’s four year nightmare, this feature documentary from Curious Films (Running with the Devil) and director Sam Hobkinson (Fear City: New York vs The Mafia), deftly assembles the pieces of a mind-bending true tale of harassment, digital deception, and murder in America’s heartland.

PLAYERS (February 14)
New York sportswriter Mack (Gina Rodriguez) has spent years devising successful hook-up “plays” with best friend Adam (Damon Wayans Jr.) and their crew. While it has led to countless one-night stands over the years, following their playbook comes with a strict set of ground rules — chief among them: you can’t build a relationship from a play. When Mack unexpectedly falls for her latest target, charming war correspondent Nick (Tom Ellis), she begins to rethink the game entirely. As the lines between work, fun, friendship, and romance begin to blur, Mack must learn what it takes to go from simply scoring to playing for keeps. Also starring Joel Courtney, Augustus Prew, Liza Koshy, Ego Nwodim, and Marin Hinkle, PLAYERS is directed by Trish Sie from a screenplay by Whit Anderson and produced by Ross M. Dinerstein, Marc Platt, Adam Siegel, and Ryan Christians.

EINSTEIN AND THE BOMB (February 16)
It’s 1933 and Albert Einstein the most famous scientist in the world is on the run. In fear of his life, he has no choice but to abandon his German homeland, as Hitler seizes power and begins the systematic persecution of the Jewish population. Einstein must find somewhere to hide from the very real threat of Nazi assassins. But where does a global celebrity disappear from view? The answer leads to a wooden hut in a field in Norfolk and the little known story of Einstein’s English hideaway. A time and place that will be a turning point in his life, between Europe and the US, between pacifism and aggression and a moment that will ultimately define his relationship with the most powerful of all inventions – the atom bomb. Using Einstein’s words only – his speeches, letters and interviews – to script his dialogue, this innovative docu-drama from BBC Studios (The Anthrax Attacks, the Emmy winning The Surgeon’s Cut) fuses dramatic sequences with archive footage of Einstein’s life as it unfolds across both world wars, the rise and fall of fascism, the advent of the atomic age. The result is a uniquely insightful and moving portrait of one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th Century and beyond.

THE TEARSMITH
Within the walls of the Grave, the orphanage where Nica grew up, a legend has always been told: that of the maker of tears, a mysterious craftsman, guilty of crafting all the fears and anxieties that inhabit the hearts of men. But at seventeen years old, the time has come for Nica to leave fairy tales behind. Her biggest dream is about to come true. Mr and Mrs Milligan have started the adoption process and are ready to give her the family she has always wanted. In her new home, however, Nica is not alone. Along with her, Rigel, a restless and mysterious orphan, the last person in the world Nica would want as an adoptive brother, is also taken from the Grave. Rigel is intelligent, smart, plays the piano like an enchanting demon and has a beauty that can enchant, but his angelic appearance conceals a dark nature. Even though Nica and Rigel are united by a common past of pain and hardship, living together seems impossible, but kindness and anger are two different ways of fighting pain to stay alive and to conceal the emotions that devastate their hearts, becoming for each other that tears-maker of legend. To the maker of tears you cannot lie: and they will have to find the courage to accept that desperate force that attracts them towards each other called love.
