Frankenstein by Guillermo del Toro will debut on Netflix on November 7, 2025. The cast of the film consists of Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth and Christoph Waltz. The story of Frankenstein, told for the first time by the English writer Mary Shelley in the gothic novel of the same name written between 1816 and 1817 at the age of 19, is set in the 18th century and tells the story of Doctor Victor Frankenstein, a scientist from Geneva who, after his medical studies, decides to carry out a very ambitious project: to recreate life after death. After going to cemeteries and studying corpses and their decomposition, Victor sets to work to create something alive from inanimate matter and creates a creature made up of pieces of corpses. This “monster” has immense strength and a deformed appearance and despite being derived from dead matter it is alive. The creature will run away immediately after being created, taking with it Dr. Frankenstein’s coat and diary who, after seeing it, lets it go away, abandoning it to its fate due to its frightening appearance. But the creature will return in secret, turning Dr. Frankenstein’s life upside down.
