As a die-hard fan of dystopian sci-fi and a self-proclaimed Joey King enthusiast, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming release of Uglies on Netflix! Having grown up reading Scott Westerfeld’s novel and reminiscing about those tween years, it’s like a dream come true to see this beloved story adapted for the screen.
In September this year, we have a Friday the 13th that feels like a prelude to Halloween, but horror movie enthusiasts might find it less thrilling as Netflix won’t be premiering a new horror film. Instead, the usual spooky event will introduce Joey King’s latest project with Netflix, the dystopian sci-fi movie for young adults titled “Uglies“. This is King’s second Netflix production of 2024, coming after the success of her romantic comedy, “A Family Affair“.
According to the book titled “Uglies” penned by Scott Westerfeld, the highly anticipated Netflix premiere of the movie adaptation is set for Friday, September 13. Riding on the wave of success from last week’s hit Netflix original film “Rebel Ridge”, this latest role played by King promises to be another box office sensation and yet another science fiction triumph for Netflix in 2023, following the success of “Atlas”.
Are you eagerly awaiting the moment when you can delve into Tally Youngblood’s rebellious journey set in a dystopian future utopia? Here’s when you can catch the Uglies release!
