Is Handmaid’s Tale’s Gilead a Real Place? Filming Location Explained
Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale and The Testaments spinoff is set in the Republic of Gilead — but is it a real place?
Based on Margaret Atwood’s novel of the same name, The Handmaid’s Tale, which aired from 2017 to 2025, took place in a dystopian future where low fertility rates led women to be assigned to men for bearing children.
The series starred Elisabeth Moss, Yvonne Strahovski, Madeline Brewer, Ann Dowd, O-T Fagbenle, Max Minghella, Samira Wiley and Amanda Brugel. On screen, the show explained Gilead as an area formed following a Second American Civil War.
The Republic of Gilead covered parts of what used to be the U.S. with complete occupation taking place in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
Other areas are considered disputed territory while the remaining American government fled to Canada with some American refugees.
Off screen, filming on the series largely took place in Toronto, Mississauga, Brantford, Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville and Cambridge, Ontario. The second season featured many of the same locations while season 3 included scenes in Washington, D.C.
The Handmaid’s Tale is expanding its TV universe with The Testaments, which is narrated by Ann Dowd’s Aunt Lydia as viewers are thrust back into the dystopian future with characters such as Agnes from Gilead and Daisy from Canada — as they secretly gather and smuggle incriminating information about Gilead’s regime out of the country. Agnes and Daisy pose as “Pearl Girls” to infiltrate Canada, while Aunt Lydia acts as a covert source within Gilead.
“We are making The Testaments, and it’s not going to track precisely,” creator Bruce Miller told TVLine in 2022. “Margaret writes these absolutely deliciously specific characters. We had to go away from that in Handmaid’s, and we’re going to have to go away from that in Testaments. Testaments is certainly going to be a sequel to the show.”
Hulu Hulu’s highly anticipated The Handmaid’s Tale spinoff The Testaments is in the works — but what is there to know about the show so far? Margaret Atwood’s dystopian universe was initially brought to life with The Handmaid’s Tale, which is based on the novel of the same name about a future where low fertility […]
More recently, The Handmaid’s Tale showrunner Yahlin Chang teased how the show set up spinoff The Testaments, telling TV Insider in March 2025, “For sure, there will be cliffhangers for The Testaments, so it doesn’t conclude everything.”
The sixth season of The Handmaid’s Tale wrapped up certain plot points “in some very satisfying ways.”
“Any fans that are left wanting more are going to get more in The Testaments, which will be great for them,” Chang continued. “But it does conclude in some very satisfying ways many of the story lines, but not every single one.”
The Testaments premieres April 8 on Hulu.

The Wonder Years’ Danica McKellar has opened up about eating her placenta after giving birth, revealing she was “embarrassed” to love the taste.
McKellar, 51, who starred as Winnie Cooper on the 1980s to 1990s coming-of-age TV series, shared her postpartum experience while being interviewed by Bobby Bones for the Tuesday, March 10, episode of “The Bobby Bones Show” podcast.
“My doula said, ‘Do you want to taste the placenta?’ I’d just given birth, and I’m like, ‘Sure.’ I mean, you’re not in your right mind. She gave me a piece of it. Bobby, it was like the best filet mignon that I have ever tasted. But more,” the former child star told Bones (real name Bobby Estell).
McKellar continued, “I was embarrassed about how much I loved it. It was bizarre. I thought, ‘What is this, some sort of weird satanic … Am I a cannibal?’ [But] we are meant to have that.”
While The Wonder Years’ Winnie Cooper was everyone’s favorite neighbor, actress Danica McKellar definitely felt growing pains once the show wrapped. “When I was a teenager, right after the show, I was super ready for everyone to let go of that character and move on. I wanted to move on in my life,” McKellar, 48, exclusively […]
The actress is mom to one child, son Draco, 15, whom she shares with her ex-husband, music composer Mike Verta. (The pair split in 2012 and McKellar married attorney Scott Sveslosky in 2014.)
According to a 2017 report published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “Placenta ingestion has recently been promoted to postpartum women for its physical and psychological benefits, although scientific evidence to support this is lacking.”
No subsequent research has publicly confirmed any health benefits, however stars who have also eaten their placenta include Alicia Silverstone, Hilary Duff, Kim Kardashian and Mandy Moore — albeit in the form of pills.
Danica McKellar and Candace Cameron Bure recently discovered that their longtime friendship has an unexpected third-party connection. “So, in 1989, I believe it was, there was this party that a teen magazine was putting on and Jeremy Miller, who was also a young actor, he was at this party,” McKellar, 48, told Fox News Digital […]
McKellar’s candid reflection comes two months after she shared a makeup-free selfie via Instagram as she embraced her natural beauty.
“This is 51! No makeup, no filters, just front-facing lighting and a healthy lifestyle to look — and more importantly — *feel* the best I can,” she wrote alongside the photo on January 3. “Today, I spent time with family (puzzling!), worked out, cold plunged in the ocean, and we’re about to have dinner. Feeling blessed beyond words today!!”
After McKellar’s rise to fame through The Wonder Years, the actress extended her small screen presence with appearances in The West Wing, How I Met Your Mother and several Hallmark films. She also went on to write multiple educational children’s books including 2010’s “Hot X: Algebra Exposed!” and “Maths Doesn’t Suck: How to Survive Year 6 Through Year 9 Maths Without Losing Your Mind or Breaking a Nail.”

“Truth be told, our love affair had more layers than a lasagna,” she says. “We were both Italian. Passionate. Intense.”

Drug Cartel & Epstein Threats Trigger Her Move To Military Base
Published
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi was quietly moved to a Washington D.C. military base after receiving threats from drug cartels and people pissed about her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, according to the New York Times.
Bondi was spirited out of her regular D.C. digs to her new home on the military base in the past month after her staff informed federal law enforcement about the threats, the paper reported, citing sources familiar with the situation.
The NYT says Bondi saw an uptick in the threats after the arrest and capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by U.S Delta Forces in January.
Several other senior Trump officials have also been relocated to highly secure military facilities in or around D.C. after getting threats.
According to the NYT … those officials include Trump’s top domestic policy adviser Stephen Miller, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, departing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
In addition, Army secretary Daniel P. Driscoll and Navy secretary John Phelan have been moved to military installations, the NYT said, adding that Phelan was rehoused after his D.C. home went up in flames last year.
The paper noted it’s unclear whether the Trump officials are paying rent to live on military properties with the exception of Noem, who shelled out “fair-market rent” for her housing in 2025, her spokesperson said.
We’ve reached out to a spokesperson for Bondi … so far no word back.

‘Predator’ (1987)
Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Predator is a classic sci-fi action horror movie directed by John McTiernan that follows Alan “Dutch” Schaefer, leader of an elite paramilitary rescue unit, on a mission to save hostages in a Central American rainforest. While treading the dangers of the wild landscape, the team is hunted by a highly skilled and technologically advanced extraterrestrial that takes them down one by one. Besides Schwarzenegger, the film also stars Kevin Peter Hall as the Predator, with Elpidia Carrillo, Carl Weathers, Richard Chaves, Sonny Landham, Bill Duke, and Jesse Ventura in main roles.

‘Lethal Weapon’ (1987)
An ’80s action classic directed by Richard Donner and written by Shane Black, Lethal Weapon follows two LAPD detectives — the emotionally troubled and grieving Martin Riggs and the seasoned, methodical Roger Murtaugh. Tasked with investigating a young woman’s murder, the unlikely duo must navigate their differences and unearth the truth in an action-packed Christmas thriller. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover star as Riggs and Murtaugh, respectively, with Gary Busey, Tom Atkins, Darlene Love, and Mitchell Ryan as the supporting characters.
With relentless energy and a constant supply of adrenaline-pumping action pieces, Lethal Weapon is a highlight of ’80s cinema and a truly iconic action film. While the movie is most noted for its intense, visceral fight sequences, the raw energy is balanced with the emotional depth of its protagonists, delivered by Gibson and Glover through their compelling performances and terrific chemistry, and the roles established them as major action stars. A massively successful and critically acclaimed genre hit, Lethal Weapon redefined the action films of the ’80s and ’90s, launching a global media franchise that includes sequel films, television shows, and games.

‘The Matrix’ (1999)
A classic ’90s sci-fi action movie, The Matrix was written and directed by The Wachowskis, and stars Keanu Reeves as computer hacker Thomas Anderson, codenamed Neo. Set in a dystopian future where humanity has been trapped inside the titular simulation by autointelligent machines that harvest their bioelectric energy, the movie follows Neo’s story as he is recruited by the mysterious Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) to join a group of rebels fighting against the machines. The film also features Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, and Joe Pantoliano in significant roles.
A highly innovative cyberpunk film, The Matrix broke new ground for the genre with its epic set pieces, inventive blend of spiritual, philosophical, and mythological motifs and themes, and pioneering visual effects. Choreographed by legendary Hong Kong action director Yuen Woo-ping, every fight sequence in The Matrix is an action masterclass, with styles combining amazingly orchestrated gunfights and high-octane martial arts inspired by manga and classic Hong Kong action cinema. The film has since spawned a multimedia franchise that includes multiple sequels, but the first movie remains a timeless classic that truly revolutionized the genre.

‘Terminator 2: Judgment Day’ (1991)
Following the success of 1984’s The Terminator, James Cameron returned to direct Terminator 2: Judgment Day, with Arnold Schwarzenegger returning as the titular anti-hero. The sequel kicks off with the evil AI Skynet sending a new, more advanced killing machine, the shapeshifting T-1000, to kill John Connor when he was a child, prompting the resistance to reprogram a T-800 (Schwarzenegger) and send it back in time to protect the younger John. Linda Hamilton reprises her role of Sarah Connor, with Robert Patrick, Edward Furlong, Earl Boen, and Joe Morton in supporting roles.
The Terminator is the movie that established Cameron as a sci-fi filmmaking genius, but Judgment Day is the one that cemented his status and laid the foundations for the titular action franchise, which continues to enjoy the support of an international fan following after four decades and counting. The sequel film combines stunning action choreography, state-of-the-art make-up tech, and CGI effects to create an action film that was far ahead of its time. The movie boasts some of the most iconic action pieces ever seen in cinema, especially the chase sequences and the climactic showdown during the final battle scene, making it one of the most satisfying sequels ever made, especially in the sci-fi action genre.

‘Die Hard’ (1988)
Directed by John McTiernan and based on Roderick Thorp’s action thriller novel Nothing Lasts Forever, Die Hard follows John McClane, a New York City police officer traveling to Los Angeles to reconcile with his estranged wife, Holly.

‘John Wick’ (2014)
Directed by Chad Stahelski in his directorial debut, John Wick stars Keanu Reeves as the titular retired hitman, who gives up his violent career and tries to live a peaceful life.

Besides Reeves in the title role, the movie also features Michael Nyqvist, Alfie Allen, Adrianne Palicki, Ian McShane, Lance Reddick, and Willem Dafoe as key characters.
The first film in what is now a billion-dollar multimedia franchise, John Wick is most noted for its methodical, high-octane action pieces and fight sequences. A modern action classic that reinvented its star’s acting career, John Wick created a new genre standard with its stylized, inventive fight choreography using minimal CGI and high-intensity stunts, as well as its signature gun-fu sequences. Performing most of his own stunts, Reeves makes his stoic, enduring, unstoppable agent of death appear more grounded and convincing, and the character has now become one of his most iconic performances.

Inventive and idiosyncratic in every aspect, Kill Bill is widely celebrated for its performances, soundtrack, and for featuring some of the best action choreography ever seen in modern cinema, especially the iconic snowy duel scene between The Bride and Liu’s O-Ren Ishii.

The film also stars John Saxon, Ahna Capri, Bob Wall, Shih Kien, and Jim Kelly in important roles.

Thrilling and high-energy, the film is Bruce Lee at his finest, featuring spectacular action choreography that he directed himself. Despite its initial lukewarm reception, Enter the Dragon went on to become a cult classic, evolving into an internationally renowned genre film that’s now hailed as one of the greatest martial arts movies of all time.

When Jim Carrey stepped onto the red carpet at the César Awards in Paris, the moment should have been a celebration of his decades-long career.
Instead, the actor’s appearance quickly sparked a wave of online speculation and criticism about how he looked.
Amid the harsh comments and conspiracy theories, celebrity plastic surgeon Terry Dubrow is now speaking out, urging fans and critics alike to show the Hollywood icon a little more kindness.

Jim Carrey’s César Awards Appearance Triggers Online Debate
Carrey made a rare public appearance at the Paris ceremony on February 26, where he accepted an honorary lifetime achievement award. However, instead of focusing on the recognition, much of the online discussion quickly shifted to his appearance. Clips from the red carpet circulated across social media, with some viewers questioning whether the actor had undergone cosmetic procedures.
The reaction became so intense that paparazzi even began asking medical experts for their opinions.
During an appearance on Tori Spelling’s “misSpelling,” Dubrow revealed just how much attention the topic had received.
“All they want to do is talk about the way poor Jim Carrey looks,” he said while discussing the questions he had been getting from photographers and reporters.

The reality TV surgeon described the reaction as unnecessarily harsh, especially toward someone who had spent decades entertaining audiences.
“It’s like, what do you say when you’re confronted with that stuff? It’s so mean, right?” he added.

Carrey Gets Public Support From Celebrity Surgeon Terry Dubrow
Dubrow acknowledged that the comedian may have looked different compared to how audiences remembered him during his biggest movie years. However, he believes the reaction was partly because fans had grown accustomed to seeing Jim Carrey appear youthful on screen for so long.
While discussing the situation, the cosmetic surgeon said the conversation surrounding the actor had become unfairly critical. “I still think he looks great,” Dubrow said.
He also emphasized that nobody outside Carrey’s personal medical team truly knew what may or may not have been done. According to the doctor, if someone had undergone a cosmetic procedure, swelling alone could temporarily alter how their face appeared.

He explained that swelling “could take a long time to go down,” which may cause noticeable changes before the face returns to a more natural look.

Jim Carrey’s Face Sparks Plastic Surgery Speculation From Other Experts
As the online debate intensified, other cosmetic specialists also began weighing in with their professional opinions.
One of them, Detroit-based surgeon Anthony Youn, shared a video analyzing Carrey’s appearance after the awards ceremony. Youn suggested the actor might have undergone several procedures designed to address natural aging and changes in facial volume.
“He appears to have had an endoscopic brow lift,” Youn said per the Daily Mail, pointing to what he believed were higher brows and a slightly altered hairline. He also speculated that additional treatments could have contributed to the tighter look.
“I also think he may have had some Botox injected into his forehead and an upper blepharoplasty,” he said while describing the possibility of eyelid surgery. The doctor continued outlining other procedures he believed might explain the fuller appearance.
“He also may have had a mid-face and a lower face lift,” he added, suggesting that lifting the cheeks and jawline could create the look seen in recent footage.

Carrey Rumors Grow As Conspiracy Theories Spread Online
As speculation spread, the conversation took an even stranger turn. Some social media users began suggesting that the person appearing at the awards ceremony might not actually have been Carrey.
The theories ranged from claims that the actor used a body double to suggestions that the appearance was part of an elaborate stunt involving celebrity transformation artist Alexis Stone.
Youn even acknowledged the bizarre online theories while discussing the situation. “Either Jim Carrey has had a considerable amount of facial plastic surgery, or this isn’t Jim Carrey and it is a doppelganger,” he said.
Despite the speculation, there is no evidence to support those claims.
Jim Carrey’s Rare Public Appearance Was Meant To Celebrate His Career
While online discussions focused heavily on his appearance, the ceremony’s organizers emphasized that Carrey’s presence was meant to honor his legacy.
The “Sonic the Hedgehog” star received an honorary César award recognizing his impact on comedy and film.
Event delegate Grégory Caulier described the occasion as particularly meaningful. According to Caulier, the 64-year-old had been invited months earlier and was deeply touched by the recognition.
The appearance marked a rare outing for Carrey, who has largely stepped away from the spotlight in recent years.
After previously hinting at retirement in 2022, the star returned to the big screen for “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” after deciding to take on another role.

One of the Greatest Beatles Covers Is This 1969 Track Some Say Is Better Than the Original
“Here Comes The Sun” is one of the most important songs in The Beatles’ catalog. Released in 1969, it’s a defining single for the band, beautifully encapsulating the relief at the arrival of spring and promised brighter days ahead. But though it earned The Beatles a number three slot on the US Billboard Hot Rock Songs, one particular cover may outshine its original recording. Blues icon and civil rights activist Nina Simone recorded “Here Comes the Sun” as the title track to her 1971 covers album, and it remains revered by critics as one of the most powerful takes on the song. Sung with a deeper depth of exhaustion during a time of political unrest and rampant racism, the song took on a whole new meaning for Black people at a time when brighter days were long awaited. Beyond just a cover, Simone reinterpreted it in a way that shifted its emotional meaning. Here’s a deeper dive into the cover and why it has long stood the test of time.
The Beatles’ “Here Comes The Sun”
One of the many classics to emerge from their 1969 album Abbey Road, “Here Comes The Sun” was written by George Harrison during a particularly stressful time for the band as a whole. Business complications and growing tensions between each member were leading to what would eventually be their breakup, and it was too much weight for Harrison to bear. He was feeling very let down by John and Paul, and didn’t know where their future as The Beatles stood. Seeking refuge, he visited friend and fellow musician Eric Clapton’s garden, eliciting a tranquility in him that would spark “Here Comes The Sun.” Known as one of Harrison’s most iconic compositions, he noted that the song honors the simple joy of spring after a long English winter, saying it felt like “winter goes on forever” until the sun finally returns.
Little darlin’
It’s been a long, cold, lonely winter
Little darlin’
It feels like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun, doo-doo-do
Here comes the sun
And I say, “It’s all right”
John Lennon Resented Paul McCartney for Writing the Most Popular Beatles Song
Not writing this song was “the worst thing” for John Lennon.
Beyond how delicately yet strikingly the folk-pop song is written, what truly marked the magnitude of its impact was how much people were able to find healing from it. Weary from carrying their own weight, they may not have even realized that they were in search of hope, renewal, and the promise of a new day. Its bright, acoustic sound and optimistic lyrics not only contrasted the band’s internal conflicts, but also the reality of tough times globally. One of the listeners who found themselves relating to the sentiment happened to be none other than Nina Simone.
Nina Simone’s Cover of “Here Comes the Sun”
Two years after The Beatles released “Here Comes the Sun,” blues priestess Nina Simone recorded her very own version as the title track of her 1971 covers album. The project largely consisted of different contemporary pop and rock songs, reworked to honor Simone’s signature blend of jazz, blues, soul, and orchestral arrangements.
For her take on “Here Comes the Sun,” Simone vocally went much deeper and more introspective, slowing it down and building around piano and orchestral instrumentation. There was an emotional emphasis on hope after hardship, which had a lot to do with her reality at the time.
John Lennon Resented Paul McCartney for Writing the Most Popular Beatles Song
Not writing this song was “the worst thing” for John Lennon.
By this point, Simone was deeply involved with the civil rights movement. The assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. happened just a few years prior, yet the grief and aftermath lingered. She was committed to the fight for her people, during a time in which segregation was legally over, yet racism continued to permeate every crevice of society. It was a big hit for her career, facing industry backlash for her political music while also navigating financial hardship. Yet, the promised sun was the hope that the Black community would soon live a life of equality and empowerment.
Though the song was covered countless times, critics and fans alike often cite Simone’s rendition of “Here Comes the Sun” as one of the most striking Beatles covers of all time. This is because, in addition to Simone’s technical skill, she goes beyond imitating the original and succeeds in transforming it into something completely hers and dedicated to a community deeply in need of a lighthouse. Simone’s “Here Comes the Sun” was a love letter to a community fighting for what they deserved.
Rihanna was inside her Beverly Hills home when a suspect fired multiple rounds into the house on Sunday, March 8.

The suspect reportedly “fired multiple rounds from inside her vehicle” into the home. According to NBC News, the shooter allegedly used “an AR-15-style rifle.”
The case is now being investigated by the LAPD’s “elite Robbery-Homicide Division.”

Jenelle Evans
Set to Visit Jace at Mental Health Facility
Published
Jenelle Evans is preparing to visit her son, Jace, at the mental health facility where he’s currently receiving treatment, but the trip hasn’t happened just yet … TMZ has learned.
Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ … Jenelle has not visited Jace in person since he entered the facility. However, she’s planning a trip to the Carolinas for spring break with all of her children and intends to see Jace while she’s there.
We’re told Jenelle, who lives in Las Vegas, has been staying in close contact with Jace. Meanwhile, her mom, Barbara Evans — who Jace has been living with — has been visiting him regularly at the facility.
Our sources say Jenelle spent about a week making calls and working to help facilitate proper care for her son, whom she has custody of. We’re also told she’s been receiving help and support from her ex-husband, David Eason, and the two are currently on good terms.
As we first reported … Jace recently checked into a mental health facility last month after a troubling incident at Barbara’s North Carolina home. Law enforcement responded to a February 22 call described as a “troubled teen disturbance,” with multiple officers dispatched to the residence.
It’s unclear how long Jace will remain in care, but those close to the family say the focus right now is on his health and stability.
Savannah Chrisley is ready to step back into the reality TV spotlight with an all-new series — but it’s not for USA Network.
“There’s a new reality show in the works for Amazon,” sources exclusively tell Us Weekly. “It’s like Eat, Pray, Love.”
The upcoming series is “basically a spin on Bravo’s Girls Trip franchise,” insiders tease, referring to Bravo’s Ultimate Girls Trip series, which follows Real Housewives as they jet off to a vacation destination with cameras in tow.
Multiple sources tell Us that the show is “starting to film soon.”
A source adds that Chrisley, 28, is “on board.”
In addition to the Chrisley Knows Best alum, insiders share that “former Housewives will be joining” the cast, but names have not been publicly released.
“The cast will be living together in a house in the Dominican Republic,” sources add.
Us Weekly has reached out to Amazon and a representative for Chrisley for comment.

Savannah gained fame alongside her parents, Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley, and her siblings when USA Network’s Chrisley Knows Best premiered in 2014.
The show gave life to spinoff Growing Up Chrisley in 2019, which followed Savannah and brother Chase Chrisley’s life out in Los Angeles. While the sister and brother soon returned home to the south, the show ran four seasons before ending in 2022. (The family lived in Georgia before moving to Tennessee.)
Todd Chrisley revealed that he had reservations about his daughter Savannah Chrisley’s TV appearance, but he still tuned in. “My daughter was so pretty today on The View,” Todd, 56, proudly shared while chatting with wife Julie Chrisley on the Wednesday, March 4, episode of the “Chrisley Confessions 2.0” podcast. “I was very hesitant about […]
Chrisley Knows Best came to an end in March 2023 after 10 seasons. The series’ finale aired two months after Todd, 56, and Julie, 53, reported to prison after being found guilty on charges of tax evasion, bank and wire fraud and conspiracy.
Julie was sentenced to seven years for her alleged involvement, while Todd was sentenced to 12 years. It was later announced that their sentences were each reduced by nearly two years as Savannah continued to push for her parents to be pardoned.
In May 2025, Savannah and her family’s efforts were rewarded and President Donald Trump pardoned Todd and Julie. The couple were subsequently released from their respective prisons and returned home to Tennessee.

The emotional reunion was captured by Lifetime for the family’s docuseries The Chrisleys: Back to Reality, which premiered that September.
In addition to stepping back in front of the camera for the docuseries, Savannah has recently competed on both Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test and The Masked Singer in 2023 and 2024, respectively.

In his long filmography, Steven Spielberg has given us some amazing movies. From Jaws, Schindler’s List, ET, Indiana Jones franchise, Saving Private Ryan, and the list goes on. But none of these movies has entertained audiences like the Jurassic Park franchise. First released in 1993, the original movies changed how cinema defined both spectacle and horror. Since the original trilogy, the franchise has been among the longest-running, with many directors presenting their own iterations revolving around the prehistoric beasts.
Last year, director Gareth Edwards’ Jurassic World Rebirth breathed new life into the franchise as an exciting new installment for fans. Led by Scarlett Johansson, the film marks the seventh film in the decades-long franchise and brilliantly connects to the previous two trilogies. Despite garnering mixed reviews, the movie went on to become one of the biggest box office grossers, earning $869 million worldwide against a production budget of $180 million.
After proving its dominion over the box office, the movie is now dominating streaming charts. Jurassic World Rebirth is getting a top spot on both Netflix charts and HBO Max charts. The 2025 film reached #1 globally on both platforms this past week. As of this writing, Rebirth has been overtaken by Alien: Romulus and now ranks #2 worldwide. While its global Netflix ranking has dipped more significantly, it is still holding firm at #2 in the U.S. The movie is a testament to fans’ love for well-made creature features that balance spectacle with a humane story. Rebirth follows a team on a mission to extract DNA samples from the three most colossal creatures to create a cure for heart disease. The film divided its audience upon its release, with critics giving it a 50% Rotten Tomatoes score while the audience gave it a 70%.
An Actor Awards Recap — The Collider Movie Quiz!
The Screen Actors Guild doled out accolades eight nights ago. Is it fresh enough in your memory to survive this recap?
Will There Be a Sequel to ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’?
Yes, it was previously reported that Edwards is in talks for a sequel to one of the biggest sci-fi films of 2025. Furthermore, Universal is keen on bringing back Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey to reprise their roles. Producer Frank Marshall previously teased Collider, “All I’ll say to that is, I think we left the door quite open.” When pressed for further details, he added, “As a filmmaker, I won the lottery getting to do this movie, and so I’m very happy where I am. I’ve been saying to everyone, and it’s 100% true, we’ve not had a single conversation about another film at all. I don’t know if it’s superstition or what, but I’ve not done it, Frank’s not done it, David’s not done it, the studio’s not done it. And I’m gonna keep it that way tonight if that’s alright. We’ll just see how the world reacts when it comes out.”
Meanwhile, check out Jurassic World Rebirth on Netflix or HBO Max. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
