What can audiences expect from Juliette Lewis’s upcoming projects? Lewis stars in the horror-comedy film ‘Over Your Dead Body’, which is set to be released in theaters on April 24, 2026. Directed by Jorma Taccone, known for his work on comedies like ‘MacGruber’ and ‘Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping’, the film is based on the 2021 Norwegian film ‘The Trip’.
The plot revolves around a couple who plan to murder each other during a vacation, described as a ‘tonal turducken’ that combines elements of horror, thriller, and action. Taccone expressed pride in the film’s challenging tone, stating, “I feel really proud, because it’s a difficult tone to thread.”
In addition to her film role, Lewis is also part of the cast for the Broadway revival of ‘The Rocky Horror Show’, which is scheduled to open on April 23, 2026. This revival features a mix of established screen actors and stage practitioners, including Luke Evans as Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Evans noted the significance of performing on Broadway, saying, “If you come from theater, you know everyone’s dream really is to do Broadway at least once.”
The revival aims to balance camp, menace, and eroticism onstage, with viral clips from the curtain call already generating significant online attention. Stephanie Hsu remarked on the production’s aesthetic, stating, “This is a classique Broadway look.”
As both projects approach their respective release dates, fans are eager to see how Lewis will navigate these diverse roles. The film ‘Over Your Dead Body’ promises a unique blend of genres, while the revival of ‘The Rocky Horror Show’ seeks to attract a wide audience with its eclectic cast.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any further projects Lewis may be involved in following these releases, but her current roles highlight her versatility as an actress in both film and theater.
