Picture Credits: Netflix

First unveiled to be in the works all the way back in March 2022 with an official unveiling at Annecy Film Festival earlier this year, Netflix has lifted the lid on its three Dr. Seuss adaptations now confirmed for release throughout the Fall of 2025.

At Annecy Film Festival, all three titles were previewed to audiences in a packed tent, with Heather Tilert presenting first look footage at the new colorful titles. “Dr. Seuss characters are loved all over the world, so we’re very excited to be the home of this entire lineup,” Tilert said to the audience. Of course, we’ve since gotten first looks for Red Fish, Blue Fish, but the other titles have been under lock and key. That’s until today!

With the fresh new release dates and first looks, here’s a look at the three new Dr. Seuss adaptations coming to Netflix, beginning with the poster for the three titles:
