Los Angeles, March 12, 2025 – Netflix has unleashed the first teaser trailer for its highly anticipated remake of Stephen King’s classic thriller Cujo, sending shivers down the spines of horror fans worldwide. Produced by Roy Lee (It, Barbarian), this new adaptation of the 1981 novel promises to deliver a fresh yet terrifying take on the tale of a rabid St. Bernard turned relentless 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁er, set to premiere on the streaming platform in late 2025.
Originally adapted in 1983 with Dee Wallace in the lead, Cujo became a cult classic for its raw suspense and grounded horror. This Netflix version, still in early development, aims to amplify the claustrophobic terror while honoring King’s visceral storytelling. Though no official cast or director has been announced, the trailer’s gritty visuals and modern edge suggest a bold reimagining of the 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁er canine saga.
Fans have already taken to social media, with one X user raving, “That Cujo trailer looks like Jaws with paws—Netflix is cooking!” As Stephen King’s works continue to dominate screens—from The Monkey to the upcoming It: Welcome to Derry—Cujo is poised to reclaim its bite as a must-watch horror event. Stay tuned for more updates as Netflix prepares to let this beast off the chain.
