Get ready to hold your breath! Netflix has unveiled the first look teaser for Apex, the upcoming survival thriller from acclaimed adventure filmmaker Baltasar Kormákur, streaming worldwide on April 24, 2026. The film promises heart-pounding suspense, breathtaking landscapes, and a deadly game of cat-and-mouse set in the wild Australian outdoors.
Apex follows a grieving woman (Charlize Theron) who sets out to test her limits in the rugged wilderness of Australia. What starts as a personal journey soon turns into a fight for survival when she becomes ensnared in a deadly game with a ruthless predator — a merciless man played by Eric Bana. Taron Egerton also joins the adventure, rounding out a powerhouse cast ready to battle nature and human menace alike.
Filmed on location at some of Australia’s most stunning terrains — including Ginninderra Falls, Royal National Park, and the Blue Mountains — Apex brings Kormákur’s signature blend of intense action, emotional depth, and survival drama to the screen. The Icelandic director, known for hits like Everest, Beast, and Contraband, said, “Working in the rugged, beautiful terrains of Australia with three of the world’s most talented, dedicated actors is such a joy — even as I put them through the ringer in this unique survivor story.”
Produced by Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, David Ready, Ian Bryce, Charlize Theron, and Kormákur himself under multiple banners including Chernin Entertainment and RVK Studios, the screenplay is penned by Jeremy Robbins. With its stunning cinematography, edge-of-your-seat suspense, and raw human drama, Apex looks poised to be one of the spring’s most thrilling Netflix releases.
Fans of survival thrillers like The Shallows and The Descent are already buzzing about this one. With nature and a relentless human predator conspiring against the protagonist, Apex is shaping up to be a gripping ride that’s impossible to pause. Prepare for chills, thrills, and breathtaking scenery — all from the comfort of your couch this April.
