Everything Everywhere All at Once Creators’ Next Movie Just Got a New Release Date
After conquering the Oscars with Everything Everywhere All at Once, the Daniels have locked a new release date for their next feature, shifting from the previously slated June 12, 2026 bow.
If you were wondering when the Daniels would follow up Everything Everywhere All at Once, we finally have an answer — and yeah, you might want to set a long reminder.
The new date (and the long road to it)
Deadline says the duo’s next feature is now locked for November 19, 2027 — the Friday right before Thanksgiving. That’s a power slot studios love for word-of-mouth plays and holiday legs.
The path to get here has been odd. After winning the Oscars in 2023 for their 2022 breakout Everything Everywhere All at Once, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert had a new movie penciled in for June 12, 2026. Then, in February 2025, the project quietly vanished from Universal Pictures’ release calendar with no replacement date. Now it’s resurfaced, but you’ll be waiting an extra year and change.
- Original plan: June 12, 2026
- February 2025: pulled from Universal’s schedule, no new date
- New plan: Friday, November 19, 2027 (Thanksgiving frame)
- Nearby competition: Warner Bros.’ Melissa McCarthy Christmas comedy 'Margie Claus' on November 5, and Disney’s 'Frozen III' on November 24
- As of now, nothing else is dated for November 19, 2027
What we know (and what we don’t)
Details are welded shut. No plot. No cast. No peek behind the curtain yet. Given the date gymnastics, you can safely assume the timing is strategic — that pre-Thanksgiving weekend is tailor-made for buzzy originals that can ride into the holidays.
A quick refresher on the Daniels’ track record
Before the multiverse blew up, the Daniels built their reputation on attention-grabbing shorts and then the 2016 indie Swiss Army Man, which they wrote and directed with Paul Dano, Daniel Radcliffe, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead front and center. Scheinert also stepped out solo for A24’s The Death of Dick Long in 2019, and both Daniels have put in time on various TV projects.
Everything Everywhere All at Once is the one that changed everything: it won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress (Michelle Yeoh), Best Supporting Actor (Ke Huy Quan), Best Supporting Actress (Jamie Lee Curtis), Best Original Screenplay, and Best Editing at the Oscars. It also scored nominations for Original Score, Original Song, Costume Design, and a second Supporting Actress nod for Stephanie Hsu.
Bottom line: the Daniels’ secret project now has a date, the calendar around it is clearing a path, and the wait is long enough to make you wonder what kind of swing they’re taking. Given their track record, I’m expecting something strange, specific, and very much worth the gap.
