Paramount Pictures has dropped the official trailer for Adulthood, a razor-sharp dark comedy from director Alex Winter that promises murder, madness, and morally-questionable family bonding. Anchored by Josh Gad and Kaya Scodelario as adult siblings thrust into an absurd spiral of crime, the film is shaping up to be one of 2025’s most twisted cinematic treats.
Set for release on September 19, 2025, Adulthood begins with a seemingly innocent act—Megan and Noah, estranged siblings played by Scodelario and Gad, return to their childhood home and stumble upon a long-buried corpse in the basement. What follows is a devilishly escalating chain of cover-ups, lies, and accidental felonies that turns their reunion into a blood-soaked rollercoaster. Throw in Billie Lourd, Anthony Carrigan, and Winter himself in deliciously offbeat supporting roles, and you’ve got a neo-noir cocktail of dysfunction and dark humor.
Written by Michael M.B. Galvin, the film spins its murder mystery through a comedic lens, blending sharp wit with grotesque escalation. The trailer teases a stylistic blend of Knives Out meets Fargo, with quick-cut chaos, increasingly absurd plot twists, and a central theme: growing up is hard, especially when you’re burying bodies.
Director Alex Winter, best known for his work in cult hits and documentaries, steps back into fiction filmmaking with a flourish, proving that he hasn't lost his edge. His take on Adulthood is visually punchy and narratively unhinged—in the best possible way—skewering everything from sibling rivalry to suburban repression.
If the trailer is any indication, Adulthood could be the next big cult classic in the making. It's bloody, it's bizarre, and it dares to ask: what happens when adulting goes way off the rails?
