Netflix Acquires Joel Coen's Gothic Mystery Jack of Spades for a Fall 2027 Theatrical Release
Netflix has secured worldwide distribution rights to Jack of Spades, Joel Coen's forthcoming gothic mystery set in the Scottish Highlands. Announced on November 2, 2026, the acquisition includes plans for a theatrical release in fall 2027 before the film reaches the streaming service. Patsy Ferran and Josh O'Connor lead an ensemble that also includes Damian Lewis and Lesley Manville. The project marks Joel's second solo directorial feature after The Tragedy of Macbeth, but it also brings his brother Ethan back into the writing process. The result is a major creative reunion wrapped in a production whose detailed story remains largely secret.
