The start of 2026 arrives with very different proposals from each other. On January 23, Hamnet, directed by Chloé Zhao, will be released, which adapts the novel by Maggie O’Farrell and focuses on Anne Hathaway, wife of William Shakespeare, played by Jessie Buckley, and the mourning for the death of her son, with Paul Mescal playing the English playwright. Just a week later will arrive Aída y Volver, the film adaptation of the legendary television series directed and written by Paco León, which recovers most of the original cast in a story that plays with the border between fiction and reality. March will be terrain for popular comedy with Torrente, Presidente, sixth installment in the saga of Santiago Segura, who once again relies on direct humor to win over the public. February will add one of the most celebrated returns of horror cinema with Scream 7, which premieres on the 27th and marks the return of Sidney Prescott, the iconic character played by Neve Campbell, once again faced with the bloody legacy of Ghostface.
Spanish auteur cinema will have one of its key moments on March 20 with Bitter Christmasthe new film by Pedro Almodóvar. Starring Bárbara Lennie, Leonardo Sbaraglia and Majorcan Victoria Luengo, the film addresses grief, creation and the limits between life and cinema through the story of an advertising director marked by the death of her mother. Spring will continue with great international returns, such as The Devil Wears Prada 2, which reunites Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep two decades later in a story of rivalries within the world of fashion, or The Mandalorian and Grogu, which expands the Star Wars universe with Pedro Pascal and the popular Grogu.
The summer will be dominated by big premieres. Steven Spielberg will return to the extraterrestrial mystery with The Day of Revealwhile Pixar will release Toy Story 5, in which Buzz and Woody face a new technological threat. One of the most anticipated titles will be The Odyssey, by Christopher Nolan, which adapts the Homeric poem with a star-studded cast.
Autumn
Autumn will come loaded with weighty proposals. Rodrigo Sorogoyen will premiere El ser loved, a drama about the relationship between an established director and his actress daughter, played by Javier Bardem and again Victoria Luengo. In October, The Black Ball, by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, will arrive, inspired by the unfinished work of Federico García Lorca and starring a cast that unites music, theater and cinema. That same month, Sacamantecas, by David P. Sañudo, a historical thriller set in 19th century Vitoria, will be released.
The year will close with a duel of blockbusters: Avengers: Judgment Day and Dune 3 will share a release date in December, concentrating a good part of the expectations of commercial cinema. Together with them, Albert Serra will present Out of This World, a project surrounded by mystery that addresses, in the key of political tragicomedy, an American delegation in Russia in the middle of the war with Ukraine. A closure that confirms that 2026 will be an especially intense year for movie theaters.
