Babygirl: release date, trailer, cast, plot and everything we know about the Nicole Kidman movie

Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson in Babygirl.

Workplace romances can be pretty tricky to navigate, but in the 2024 new movie Babygirl, we may be getting the mother of all messy workplace affairs. And with Nicole Kidman, the director of Bodies Bodies Bodies and A24 all involved in the project, it could make for quite the watch.

It's been another busy year for A24, which has already released notable movies like Problemista, Love Lies Bleeding, Civil War, Tuesday and Sing Sing, The Front Room, A Different Man, We Live in Time, Heretic and more. Babygirl is one of the final entries from the popular studio on the year and seems destined to make a lot of noise.

Read on to find out everything you need to know about the Nicole Kidman movie.

Babygirl release date

Babygirl is going to be released nationwide in the US on Christmas Day, December 25. In the UK, the movie is slated to premiere on January 10, 2025.

Babygirl cast

Nicole Kidman stars in Babygirl as a high-powered CEO who begins an affair with one of her interns. Kidman is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation, an Oscar winner (The Hours) and the most recent recipient of the American Film Institute's Lifetime Achievement Award. She could very well be back in the Oscar discussions with her role here. Already this year Kidman has starred in Expats, A Family Affair and The Perfect Couple; and if you've gone to an AMC movie theater you've also undoubtedly seen her explaining how "heartbreak feels good" at the movies.

Two rising stars are also helping to round out the cast in Harris Dickinson and Sophia Wilde. Dickinson has been involved in many high-profile projects in the last few years, including Triangle of Sadness, Where the Crawdads Sing, The Iron Claw and A Murder at the End of the World. Wilde, meanwhile, has starred in the horror movie Talk to Me, the 2023 Tom Jones miniseries and Boy Swallows Universe.

Finally, Antonio Banderas is also going to star in Babygirl. The Oscar-nominated actor (Pain and Glory) is best known for The Mask of Zorro, Desperado, voicing the animated character Puss in Boots and his work with fellow Spaniard Pedro Almodovar, including The Skin I Live In.

Babygirl plot

Halina Reijn, in addition to directing, wrote the original script for Babygirl. Here is the official synopsis:
