Babygirl: Release Date, Cast And Other Things We Know About The A24 Movie

Babygirl is another new A24 movie – and this is what we know about it.

A24 has continued to surprise and delight with their movies over the last few years. From the 2023 Academy Award for Best Picture-winning Everything Everywhere All At Once to one of the scariest A24 horror movies, Talk to Me, to even the strange dramatic comedy stories of Dream Scenario, the production company has created some of the best films.

And soon, Babygirl is joining the list, as part of the 2024 movie release schedule. Here is what we know so far.

What Is The Babygirl Release Date?

As of updating this in November 2024, A24 has confirmed that Babygirl will release on December 25, 2024, so talk about a Christmas surprise.

Three other films are set to come out that day – the long-awaited Nosferatu, The Fire Inside and A Complete Unknown, and now Babygirl is joining that list.

Check Out The Babygirl Trailer

If this title interests you, and the name A24 does as well, then you have to check out the Babygirl trailer. It features our star-studded cast in the thrilling movie – as well as the beginning of a not-so-appropriate relationship that is sure to turn heads.

What Is Babygirl About?

If you're curious about what Babygirl will be about, according to A24, Babygirl will be an erotic thriller that follows a CEO who decides to engage in an affair with a “much-younger intern.” However, in doing so, she risks both her job and her family.

This isn't the first time that a movie has discussed the topic of not only age gaps but internal relations in companies, but it's exciting to see that A24 is going to be tackling that topic. There are so many great A24 movies, and I have a feeling this could be one of them.

The Babygirl Cast

We know plenty about the cast of Babygirl, specifically from A24. Here is who you can expect to see:

Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman is confirmed to star in Babygirl. The actress has been in the industry for a long time. Aside from starring in major movies such as Moulin Rouge!, Eyes Wide Shut, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Paddington, and more, she's also appeared in TV shows and earned critical acclaim, such as Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers.

Antonio Banderas

Also confirmed is Antonio Banderas. The actor has appeared in several major movies such as Philadelphia, Interview with the Vampire, Desperado, the Spy Kids movies, and many others. He also voiced Puss in the Shrek movies and the Puss in Boots movies.

Harris Dickinson

A24 also confirmed that Harris Dickinson would star in the film. Dickinson is relatively new to Hollywood, having arrived within the last decade or so. He's appeared in films like Beach Rats, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, The King's Man, and Triangle of Sadness. Recently, however, he also appeared in the critically acclaimed A24 film The Iron Claw, receiving outstanding reviews, so seeing him in yet another A24 film is excellent.

Sophie Wilde

Lastly, we have Sophie Wilde, which A24 also confirmed. The actress is relatively new to the movie industry but made waves in 2023 with her starring role in the terrifying Talk to Me, which earned stellar praise. She also appeared in the 2023 Netflix series Everything Now.

With such an impressive cast list, I'm eager to see what Babygirl will offer. I have a feeling the acting will blow me away.

Halina Reijn Directed And Wrote The Film

Also confirmed from A24 is that Halina Reijn, known for her directing on Bodies Bodies Bodies, directed and wrote Babygirl.

Truthfully, this makes so much sense. Bodies Bodies Bodies was a horror film but is also divided into more genres, such as comedy and a bit of drama, and what made it so good was that it talked about modern-day culture and relationships in a healthy but exciting way.

Reign has also previously worked in the drama genre with her directorial debut, Instinct. The film was Dutch and followed the story of a prison therapist who becomes obsessed with her patient, so it's clear she's had plenty of experience in the world of thrillers regarding romantic relationships.

Babygirl Will Be Rated R

I mean, with a synopsis like the one above, it’s not that surprising that Babygirl will be Rated R, but A24 did confirm this on their press site.

This makes a lot of sense, as Nicole Kidman recently opened up about the intimacy scenes within the film and how it explored the kink of S&M in a screening of the film in LA (via People):

So, yeah, keep the kids home for this, but I have a feeling Babygirl would be a great date night film if you want a good erotic thriller.

What are you excited about the most when it comes to Babygirl? This already sounds interesting, and I can't wait to see it unfold.
