News The Flood Zach Cregger’s Sci-Fi Thriller The Flood Will Land in Theaters in 2028 The project was previously in development at Netflix By Molly Templeton | Published on April 15, 2026 Image: 20th Century Studios Comment 0 Share New Share Image: 20th Century Studios Zach Cregger’s follow-up to Weapons is only a few months away: his Resident Evil movies arrives in September. But after that, he’s going to more science fictional territory. The Hollywood Reporter has the news that Cregger is once again working with Warner Bros.’ New Line (in conjunction with Amblin Entertainment) for the film The Flood, which is already scheduled for release in August, 2028. Naturally, Cregger is being cagey about what the movie is about. THR says that while “the filmmaker’s previous projects have been modern-set horror thriller freakouts, this one is described as being very much in the science fiction mold.” This keeps Cregger in business with New Line and Warner Bros., his studio partners for the now Oscar-winning Weapons. He’s also working with them for the Weapons prequel Gladys, though only as a co-writer on the film. The Flood was originally in development at Netflix, but in November, The Wrap reported that development there had come to a halt when Netflix would not commit to a theatrical release for the film. Netflix has only given a few of their recent projects wider theatrical releases, including KPop Demon Hunters (after it became a hit) and the series finale of Stranger Things. Greta Gerwig’s Narnia film, produced for Netflix, will also get an IMAX release. The Flood arrives in theaters August 11th, 2028.[end-mark] The post Zach Cregger’s Sci-Fi Thriller <i>The Flood</i> Will Land in Theaters in 2028 appeared first on Reactor.
