Netflix Unabomber film release details

Overview

Netflix has released the first trailer and posters for its upcoming true-crime thriller, ‘Unabomber’, which is scheduled for global release on September 25, 2026. Directed by Janus Metz, the film explores the life of Ted Kaczynski, the domestic terrorist responsible for a series of mail bombings in the United States between 1978 and 1995. The bombing campaign resulted in three deaths and approximately 23 to 24 injuries.

The production utilizes a dual-timeline structure. One narrative thread focuses on Kaczynski’s formative years as a 16-year-old mathematics prodigy at Harvard University in 1958, where he was subjected to controversial psychological experiments conducted by Professor Henry Murray, played by Russell Crowe. The second timeline follows the FBI’s manhunt for Kaczynski, led by agent Joanne Miller, portrayed by Shailene Woodley. The trailer depicts movement between the 1994 bombings and Kaczynski’s early academic years, highlighting his transformation from a gifted student to a reclusive bomber living in a Montana cabin.

In addition to the leads, the cast includes Annabelle Wallis, Alexander Ludwig, Steven Ogg, and Marc Menchaca. Jacob Tremblay stars as the young Kaczynski. Following the promotional trailer release, the film was officially released on Netflix on September 25, 2026. The film depicts Kaczynski’s academic journey through Harvard, the University of Michigan, and his time as an assistant professor at the University of California, Berkeley, prior to his isolation in Montana.
