Netflix’s ‘The Last House’ Gets Locked Indoors This August

Netflix announced today that its Louis Leterrier-directed sci-fi thriller The Last House will arrive on its streaming service on August 7, 2026.

The Last House follows a family of four who are suddenly sealed inside their home with no way out and must work together to survive against both their dwindling resources and the mysterious, looming threat keeping them trapped.

It stars Greta Lee (A House of Dynamite) and Wagner Moura (The Secret Agent), with Riley Chung (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes), Emma Ho (The Baker), Noah Alexander Sosnowski (Section 8), and Gabriel Barbosa (May December) co-starring.

“The Last House challenges the idea of a safe haven, turning a family home into a hostile environment where survival demands unity,” Leterrier tells Tudum. “This is an ordinary family’s worst nightmare, pushing them to their limits to protect each other and exposing the fragility of security — and the desperate fight to reclaim it.”

“I was so intrigued by the notion of what it might mean to wake up one day and be physically sealed in your home —  and not even understand why,” Moura tells Tudum. “I think about how my own family would respond and handle something like that. I connected with the stakes of the film and the character on a deep level because of that.”

“The storyline will evolve in ways that the audience certainly will not expect, but that is what makes this film so interesting,” Moura adds. “There are layers and twists that I can’t wait for everyone to see.”

“All I can say is – you are definitely in for a surprise,” Lee teases. “And I can’t wait for you all to see it.”

Next up for Leterrier, who also directed Transporter and Fast X, is the Apple+ series Liminal.
