Based on Simon Stålenhag’s graphic novel, The Electric State is set to be one of Netflix’s major blockbusters in the year 2025.

Could this be Netflix’s next big hit? The streaming platform is certainly betting big on this blockbuster, bringing together a renowned directorial team, a star-studded cast, and a hefty budget (reported to be over $300 million by various American media outlets, although Netflix hasn’t confirmed the figure, which would make it the most expensive production from the streaming giant).

The Electric State is a loose adaptation of the Swedish graphic novel by Simon Stålenhag, first published in 2018. This dystopian adventure unfolds in an alternate reality devastated by robot wars. In this setting, a teenager embarks on a quest to find her missing younger brother. Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo (Avengers: Endgame, The Gray Man), the film stars Millie Bobby Brown, Chris Pratt, Ke Huy Quan, Jason Alexander, Giancarlo Esposito, and Stanley Tucci. This action-comedy hybrid will debut on Netflix on March 14, 2025.
