Netflix is strongly and surely expanding its slate of feature films for the future by ordering more and more movies with major stars attached. One such project is Unleashed, a police dog movie starring Dave Bautista.
Netflix’s Unleashed will be directed by Jeff Tomsic, whose credits include TAG, Norm McDonald’s Nothing Special, The Detour and more. The scripts for the movie are being written by Blockers scribes Jim & Brian Kehoe.

Netflix’s Unleashed is currently in its early development stage, where writers Jim & Brian Kehoe are penning the scripts as we speak with pre-production following after.
What’s the Netflix release date for Unleashed?
Netflix hasn’t announced any dates for Unleashed, but considering its very early development stage, we can probably expect only a late 2023 or 2024 release date.
Elsewhere, we reported earlier in the year Netflix was eying a new drama series that would star Dave Bautista in the form of 90 Church. No further details have been announced since then, however.
