Netflix unveiled the final trailer for The Electric State, providing one more tease of the upcoming sci-fi film based on the graphic novel by Simon Stålenhag. The trailer shows Netflix’s go-to star Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things, Enola Holmes, Damsel) teaming up with Guardians of the Galaxy‘s Chris Pratt and some renegade robots to find her missing sibling.
The cast also includes Ke Huy Quan, Jason Alexander, Woody Norman, Giancarlo Esposito, and Stanley Tucci. Woody Harrelson, Anthony Mackie, Brian Cox, Jenny Slate, Hank Azaria, Colman Domingo, and Alan Tudyk voice The Electric State characters.
Netflix offers this description of the sci-fi thriller from directors Anthony and Joe Russo:
“The Electric State is a spectacular sci-fi adventure from the directors of Avengers: Endgame set in an alternate, retro-futuristic version of the 1990s. Millie Bobby Brown stars as Michelle, an orphaned teenager navigating life in a society where sentient robots resembling cartoons and mascots, who once served peacefully among humans, now live in exile following a failed uprising. Everything Michelle thinks she knows about the world is upended one night when she’s visited by Cosmo, a sweet, mysterious robot who appears to be controlled by Christopher — Michelle’s genius younger brother whom she thought was dead.
Determined to find the beloved sibling she thought she had lost, Michelle sets out across the American southwest with Cosmo, and soon finds herself reluctantly joining forces with Keats (Chris Pratt), a low-rent smuggler, and his wisecracking robot sidekick, Herman (voiced by Anthony Mackie). As they venture into the Exclusion Zone, a walled-off corner in the desert where robots now exist on their own, Keats and Michelle find a strange, colorful group of new animatronic allies — and begin to learn that the forces behind Christopher’s disappearance are more sinister than they ever expected.”
Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely wrote the screenplay, and the Russos, Mike Larocca, Angela Russo-Otstot, Chris Castaldi, and Patrick Newall served as producers. Executive producers include Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely, Tim Connors, Nick van Dyk, Jake Aust, Geoffrey Haley, and Jeffrey Ford. Simon Stålenhag, Julia Angelin, Russell Ackerman, John Schoenfelder, Andy Muschietti, and Barbara Muschietti also executive produce.
The Electric State streams on Netflix on March 14, 2025.
