The latest Jungle Book adaptation, Mowgli, has finally found a home. The film will be coming to Netflix in 2019.

Andy Serkis’ “darker” retelling of The Jungle Book has encountered one delay after another. Finally, Warner Bros. has sold the project to the streaming titan, Netflix. Deadline is reporting that Netflix has officially purchased the worldwide rights to the film.

The film was set to be released on October 19, 2018, but due to delays, which are largely due to 2016’s highly successful The Jungle Book adaptation, you’ll now be able to stream it in 2019 at some point.

Mowgli has already completed filming (and has even released a trailer) with a star-studded cast. It stars Christian Bale as Bagheera, Benedict Cumberbatch as Shere Khan, Cate Blanchett as Kaa, Matthew Rhys as John Lockwood, and, of course, Rohan Chand as Mowgli.

Serkis, who’s directing the project and starring as Baloo, is excited about the move to Netflix, and it looks like he might take this opportunity to make the movie even darker!

“What excites me most is the forward thinking at Netflix in how to present this, and the message of the movie. They understand this is a darker telling that doesn’t fit it into a four quadrant slot. It’s really not meant for young kids, though I think it’s possible that 10 or above can watch it. It was always meant to be PG-13, and this allows us to go deeper, with darker themes, to be scary and frightening in moments. The violence between animals is not gratuitous, but it’s definitely there. This way of going allows us to get the film out without compromise.”

We can’t wait to see what Serkis and Netflix make of this beautiful story when Mowgli premieres in 2019.
