The release date has been confirmed for Australian-set Netflix thriller, “Apex.”
The forthcoming film stars Charlize Theron and Taron Egerton in “a ruthless game of cat and mouse set in the unforgiving landscape of the Australian wilderness.”
“Apex” will start streaming on Netflix on April 24 of next year.
“I couldn’t be more excited,” director Baltasar Kormákur (“Everest,” “Adrift”) told Tudum last February. “Working in the rugged, beautiful terrains of Australia with three of the world’s most talented, dedicated actors in Charlize Theron, Taron Egerton, and Eric Bana is such a joy — even as I put them through the [ringer] in this unique survivor story.”
According to a press release, “Apex” follows “a grieving woman” who heads to the wilderness “only to become ensnared in a deadly game of cat and mouse with a serial killer.”

The film was shot in New South Wales, home of the Blue Mountains.
“For a film like ‘Apex’ — where the elements and the terrain are characters that loom just as large as the movie stars battling in it — no other country in the world could have taken the place of Australia as our primary location,” Kormákur said. “The unrivaled landscape, studio facilities, and talented crews in New South Wales have been a boon to this production. I want to thank the people of NSW, the NSW government, and the Australian Government’s Location Offset for all the support we’ve received in making this journey possible.”
“Apex” is produced by Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, and David Ready for Chernin Entertainment; Ian Bryce for Ian Bryce Productions; Theron, Beth Kono, and A.J. Dix for Secret Menu; and Kormákur for RVK Studios. The film is executive produced by Ray Angelic, Will McCance, and Dawn Olmstead for Secret Menu.
Stream “Apex” on Netflix on April 24, 2026.
