The Last House is two days out — Greta Lee & Wagner Moura sci-fi siege hits Netflix Friday
Cancel Friday plans — or pretend you chose to stay in. The Last House, Louis Leterrier’s sci-fi thriller starring Greta Lee and Wagner Moura, hits Netflix August 7, 2026. A family sealed inside their home faces dwindling supplies and an unexplained force; runtime sits near 1h 52m for a single-night scare.
Why the countdown is loud
Trade coverage is calling it one of Netflix’s must-see original thrillers of the week, with fresh clip drops teasing the siege tone. Lee (Past Lives) and Moura (The Secret Agent) give the cast more prestige weight than the usual Friday dump. Same-day Alley Cats offers the comedy escape hatch after credits.
Watch order tip
If you are stacking August Netflix: Solitude Part 2 (now), Walter Boys S3 (Thu), Last House + Alley Cats (Fri). Save Outer Banks and Whisper Man for later in the month.
“The Last House challenges the idea of a safe haven, turning a family home into a hostile environment.”
