N o one loves monsters like Guillermo del Toro. This November on Netflix, the director of Cronos, Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth, The Shape of Water, and the gorgeously animated Pinocchio takes on the ultimate monster of Gothic fiction: Frankenstein. And we don't necessarily mean the walking hulk with bolts in his neck.

Guillermo del Toro’s long-awaited adaptation of Frankenstein is shaping up to be one of Netflix’s biggest movie releases of 2025. Slated to premiere in November 2025 with a TIFF premiere, the gothic retelling promises to be a deeply emotional and visually stunning take on Mary Shelley’s classic 1818 horror novel.
