The rest of 2026 is shaping up to be absolutely stacked with huge releases, and as a total movie lover, my fall films watchlist is already overflowing. Of course, calendar-wise, we are technically still in summer until the middle of September, but from that mid-month mark all the way through December, theaters are gearing up for an incredible stretch of films to get excited about.
Before we dive in, a quick disclaimer: you won’t see massive blockbusters like “Dune 3,” “Avengers: Doomsday,” or the next “Hunger Games” chapter on this list. I’m naturally super excited to see those films just like everyone else, so I wanted to take a slightly different approach. Instead, I want to highlight seven fall releases you might not have heard of or thought about yet, but absolutely deserve a spot on your radar.
