Sam Esmail’s next feature, Panic Carefully, will be one of the most anticipated thrillers on Warner Bros.’ upcoming slate. It stars Julia Roberts and Elizabeth Olsen, also reuniting Esmail with Roberts following their collaboration on Leave the World Behind. The movie is gaining fans’ attention with its cast and suspenseful premise, but it might make them wait a little longer.
When is the new release date for Panic Carefully?
Warner Bros. has officially rescheduled Panic Carefully. The thriller will now open in theaters and IMAX on April 9, 2027, instead of its previously announced release date of February 26, 2027. However, the reason for the change in the release date remains unknown.
Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail wrote and directed Panic Carefully. The project has been described as a paranoid thriller in the vein of Mr. Robot and The Silence of the Lambs. The plot is still a secret, but the film is about the hunt for a cyber-terrorist.
Julia Roberts leads the cast alongside Eddie Redmayne, Brian Tyree Henry, Ben Chaplin, Aidan Gillen, Joe Alwyn, Naledi Murray and Elizabeth Olsen. The production team includes Scott Stuber, Sam Esmail, Chad Hamilton, Julia Roberts, Marisa Yeres Gill, and Lisa Gillan as producers. Kevin McCormick and Chrystal Li are overseeing the project for Warner Bros.
Although Warner Bros. has shifted the film’s release, Panic Carefully remains set for a theatrical and IMAX debut. The additional time keeps the thriller on the studio’s 2027 calendar, as anticipation grows for the director’s new suspense project.
Once Panic Carefully comes to theaters, Esmail is likely to move on to directing the mystery sci-fi feature Tesseract, with Glen Powell attached to star.
For now, fans can mark the new release date to catch Panic Carefully on the big screen. Meanwhile, time will tell whether the hype is worth it.
