Netflix Sets to Remake Iconic Teen Drama The Breakfast Club

Netflix has officially announced its plans to remake the classic 1985 coming-of-age film The Breakfast Club, sending waves of anticipation and nostalgia through the entertainment world. The new adaptation is set to premiere in November 2025, reintroducing the story of five high school students from vastly different backgrounds who find unexpected common ground during a Saturday detention.

Originally written and directed by the legendary John Hughes, The Breakfast Club has long been considered one of the most influential teen movies of all time. Its portrayal of adolescence, identity, and the complexities of growing up helped define a generation and launched the careers of its young stars, often dubbed the “Brat Pack.”

The Netflix remake promises a modern retelling of the story, with updated characters that reflect today’s diverse social landscape while maintaining the emotional depth and timeless themes of the original. While the new cast has yet to be revealed, the streamer is reportedly in talks with rising young actors and notable creative talent to ensure the project resonates with both longtime fans and new audiences.

Netflix released a promotional poster for the remake featuring the original film’s iconic cast, a nod to the film’s cultural legacy and a teaser of what’s to come. Set against a cool, muted background, the image serves as both tribute and announcement: The Breakfast Club is back—and it’s ready for a new generation.

More details, including casting and direction, are expected to be unveiled in the coming months. Until then, audiences can mark their calendars for November 2025, when Netflix reopens the library doors and invites viewers to once again meet the brain, the athlete, the basket case, the princess, and the criminal.
