David Fincher's Netflix Era Ends After 13 Years And Final Film In 2026

Director David Fincher is officially wrapping up his long-running partnership with Netflix. A Bloomberg report, covered by /Film, MovieWeb, and JoBlo, confirms that Fincher will not renew his deal with the streamer.

The final film under his current contract is "The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth," written by Quentin Tarantino. Per /Film, the movie is set for an IMAX theatrical release on November 26, 2026, followed by its Netflix debut on December 23, 2026.

Fincher's three-picture directing deal with Netflix, signed in 2020, resulted in "Mank," "The Killer," and the upcoming Cliff Booth sequel. His history with the company, however, stretches back to 2013, when he executive produced and directed episodes of "House of Cards." He was also heavily involved with "Mindhunter," "Love, Death & Robots," and "Voir."

MovieWeb notes that the director's exit follows the departure of Netflix Films chairman Scott Stuber, a longtime ally, and the streamer scrapping Fincher's planned "Squid Game" reboot. It's unclear what will happen to a "Chinatown" prequel series he was developing.

Fincher's next move is unknown, but his exit marks the conclusion of a 13-year creative relationship that helped define Netflix's original content ambitions.
