According to Netflix, the story follows Lynette as she struggles to make money and find a way out of her difficult life in the Pacific Northwest. While the plot is being kept simple for now, it promises to be an intense and gripping story about survival.
Netflix confirmed in March 2024 that Night Always Comes was in production. The film is produced by Aluna Entertainment as part of their deal with Netflix. Vanessa Kirby worked alongside Lauren Dark, Benjamin and Jodie Caron, Gary Levinsohn, and Billy Hines to bring the project to life. Filming took place in Portland, Oregon, starting in spring 2024.
The movie is described by Netflix as both a crime thriller and a drama. With Vanessa Kirby leading the cast, viewers can expect a strong and intense performance. The supporting cast, including Randall Park, Eli Roth, and Julia Fox, brings additional depth and variety to the story.
Vanessa Kirby, who has built a reputation for dramatic and action-packed roles, is expected to deliver a powerful performance as Lynette. Netflix has kept plot details under wraps, but fans are eager to see how the story unfolds.
As the August 15 release date approaches, Netflix is slowly revealing more about the movie. For now, viewers can enjoy the trailer and poster, and look forward to the full release when Night Always Comes will be available to stream worldwide.
