Dates below reflect when each title is slated to land this week.

From Werner Herzog’s sweeping biopic to a new Ozzy Osbourne documentary and two brand-new 2025 releases, the lineup ranges from historical adventure to crime caper and nerve-jangling horror. Read on for the essentials on each project—who made it, who’s in it, and what story they’re telling—so you can plan your watchlist.

‘Queen of the Desert’ (2015)

Werner Herzog’s biographical drama charts the life of Gertrude Bell, the British writer, explorer, and political officer whose travels and diplomacy shaped Middle Eastern geopolitics in the early 20th century. Nicole Kidman plays Bell across decades, with James Franco as Henry Cadogan, Damian Lewis as Charles Doughty-Wylie, and Robert Pattinson as T. E. Lawrence; Herzog also wrote the screenplay, with cinematography by Peter Zeitlinger and music by Klaus Badelt and Mark Yaeger. The film was produced by Benaroya Pictures and partners, premiered in competition at the 65th Berlin International Film Festival, and runs 128 minutes. It’s slated to arrive on Tuesday, October 7.

The story follows Bell from her early postings—beginning with a life-altering stint in Tehran—through desert expeditions and diplomatic missions that positioned her as a key intermediary between British leadership and Arab leaders after World War I. Shot on location in Morocco, Jordan, and England, the production famously went through years of casting shifts before filming began in late 2013; it was Herzog’s first narrative feature since 2009. The release joins the service on Tuesday, October 7.

‘Ozzy: No Escape from Now’ (2025)

Arriving Tuesday, October 7, this feature documentary follows Ozzy Osbourne through his final six years—years marked by major health challenges, creative resurgence, and intimate family moments. Directed by BAFTA-winner Tania Nash and produced with participation from the Osbourne family, the film includes interviews with Sharon, Kelly, Jack, and the publicity-shy Aimee, alongside friends and collaborators from the rock world. It captures the period surrounding Ozzy’s Parkinson’s diagnosis and his later-career studio projects, offering a close-quarters portrait of the metal icon.

The documentary addresses the fallout from Ozzy’s 2018 fall—initially mismanaged and ultimately requiring aggressive surgery—and how that incident reshaped his life and work, while also touching on farewell performances and the Osbournes’ reflections on fame and family. Interviews and archival material map a path from crisis to resilience, culminating in a candid assessment of identity, mortality, and the power of music. It lands on the platform Tuesday, October 7.

‘Roofman’ (2025)

Opening Friday, October 10, Derek Cianfrance’s biographical crime comedy stars Channing Tatum as Jeffrey “Roofman” Manchester, the Army Reserve veteran turned serial robber notorious for infiltrating restaurants through their roofs—and for a daring prison escape. Cianfrance co-writes with Kirt Gunn and reunites with producers Jamie Patricof and Lynette Howell Taylor; the ensemble features Kirsten Dunst, Ben Mendelsohn, LaKeith Stanfield, Juno Temple, Melonie Diaz, Uzo Aduba, Lily Collias, Jimmy O. Yang, and Peter Dinklage. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6, 2025.

The plot follows Manchester’s rooftop break-ins and his most audacious hideout—living inside the wall of a vacant Circuit City beside a functioning Toys “R” Us—while juggling new identities and relationships as law enforcement closes in. With Christopher Bear on the score and Andrij Parekh behind the camera, the 126-minute feature blends caper rhythms with character study to trace the rise and fall of an unusually inventive fugitive. It’s slated for Friday, October 10.

‘Vicious’ (2025)

Dakota Fanning headlines writer-director Bryan Bertino’s new horror feature, arriving Friday, October 10. Backed by Atlas Independent and produced by Richard Suckle, the film also stars Kathryn Hunter, Mary McCormack, Rachel Blanchard, and Devyn Nekoda. Following a debut at Fantastic Fest on September 19, 2025, the 98-minute chiller is set for early-October release, with Tom Schraeder composing the score.

The story centers on a woman who becomes convinced a malevolent presence has breached the safety of her home—and her mind—forcing her into a battle where every shadow, reflection, and sound becomes suspect. Bertino—known for precision-tooled dread—builds the narrative around isolation and unreliable perception, while the supporting cast’s interlocking roles gradually reveal the entity’s rules and the protagonist’s past. The film joins the lineup on Friday, October 10.
