Acclaimed Star Wars filmmaker J.J. Abrams is set to make his grand return to the director’s chair with a mysterious new cinematic venture. His upcoming supernatural sci-fi epic, The Great Beyond, is officially scheduled to premiere on November 13, 2026.
The project boasts a high-profile ensemble including Glen Powell, Jenna Ortega, Samuel L. Jackson, and Emma Mackey. While official plot details remain under wraps, rumors suggest the narrative follows a renowned fantasy novelist who makes the startling discovery that the fictional world he created actually exists. This revelation thrusts the hero of his books (played by Powell) into a perilous real-world odyssey.
Distributed by Warner Bros., the film is part of an ambitious upcoming slate from the studio. Other highly anticipated releases include The Conjuring prequel titled First Communion (September 10, 2027), the Julia Roberts-led thriller Panic Wisely (February 26, 2027), and a sci-fi action spectacle starring Keanu Reeves called Tremor (August 13, 2027).
