What can audiences expect from Juliette Lewis in 2026? The actress is making waves with her dual roles in a new horror-comedy film and a highly anticipated Broadway revival.
Lewis stars in the film ‘Over Your Dead Body’, directed by Jorma Taccone, known for his work on comedies like ‘MacGruber’ and ‘Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping’. The film, set to be released in theaters on April 24, 2026, is based on the 2021 Norwegian film ‘The Trip’ and features a couple planning to murder each other during a vacation.
Described as a “tonal turducken” that combines horror, thriller, and action genres, ‘Over Your Dead Body’ promises to deliver a unique cinematic experience. Taccone expressed his pride in the project, stating, “I feel really proud, because it’s a difficult tone to thread.” This blend of genres is expected to attract a diverse audience.
In addition to her film role, Lewis is also part of the cast for the Broadway revival of ‘The Rocky Horror Show’, which opens on April 23, 2026. This revival features a mix of established screen actors and stage practitioners, including Luke Evans as Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Evans remarked, “If you come from theater, you know everyone’s dream really is to do Broadway at least once.”
The revival aims to balance camp, menace, and eroticism onstage, with viral clips from its curtain call already generating significant online attention. Stephanie Hsu noted, “This is a classique Broadway look,” highlighting the production’s commitment to theatrical tradition.
As both projects approach their release dates, anticipation is building for Lewis’s performances. Her involvement in such diverse roles showcases her versatility as an actress and her ability to engage with different genres.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any additional projects Lewis may be involved in following these releases, but her current endeavors certainly place her at the forefront of both film and theater in 2026.
