SXSW 2025 Lineup: Seth Rogen, Blake Lively, Jacob Elordi, Jenna Ortega, Ben Affleck, Nicole Kidman and More
SXSW's full lineup for the 2025 Film and TV Festival includes the Blake Lively film "Another Simple Favor," Seth Rogen's Apple TV+ satire "The Studio" and films starring Nicole Kidman and Jacob Elordi.
For the first time since 2022, this yearâs South by Southwest Film & Television Festival does not overlap with the Oscars â which seems to have given SXSW curators a richer field to pull from, as the 2025 lineup has no shortage of buzzy titles and stars. Running from March 7-15, the festival will present 111 movies and 17 series (plus short films, music videos and XR experiences) featuring the likes of Blake Lively, Anna Kendrick, Seth Rogen, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Jacob Elordi, Ben Affleck, Nicole Kidman, Matthew McConaughey, Issa Rae, Jenna Ortega, Daveed Diggs and more.
The festival will open with âAnother Simple Favor,â the sequel to the 2018 comedic thriller âA Simple Favor,â once again starring Lively and Kendrick and directed by Paul Feig. The new film is set in Capri, Italy, where Stephanie (Kendrick) and Emily (Lively) travel for Emilyâs wedding to a rich Italian businessman; as the logline reveals, âmurder and betrayalâ ensue. Andrew Rannells, Bashir Salahuddin, Henry Golding, Elizabeth Perkins, Michele Morrone, Alex Newell and Allison Janney costar.
Rogenâs upcoming Apple TV+ series âThe Studioâ will be the opening night TV premiere. As well as co-creating with Evan Goldberg, Rogen stars as the new chief of an âembattledâ studio in an era where âmovies struggle to stay alive and relevant.â The cast also includes Catherine OâHara, Ike Barinholtz, Chase Sui Wonders and Kathryn Hahn â with plenty of celebrity cameos.

The closing night film will be the post-Korean War romance âOn Swift Horses,â starring Daisy Edgar-Jones and Will Poulter as Muriel and Lee, a couple living in San Diego whose lives are changed after Leeâs charismatic brother Julius (Jacob Elordi) arrives. Daniel Minahan directed the film from a screenplay by Bryce Kass, based on the novel by Shannon Pufahl; Diego Calva and Sasha Calle costar. (The movie first premiered at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival; SXSW will be its U.S. debut.)
SXSWâs vice president of film and television Claudette Godfrey says the rest of the yearâs lineup â which includes 90 world premiere films â was curated by prioritizing âfilmmakers who make bold statements, push boundaries, spark important conversations and challenge our perspectives in ways we never expected.â
One of those filmmakers is Gavin OâConnor, director of the 2016 thriller âThe Accountant.â With Affleck, Jon Bernthal and J.K. Simmons returning, sequel âThe Accountant 2â is set as a headliner, this time following autistic CPA Christian Wolff (Affleck) who must team up with his estranged brother, Brax (Bernthal), after someone close to him is killed by unknown assassins.Â
Thrillers dominate the headliner list, as is typical at SXSW. Electronic hip-hop producer Flying Lotus is bringing his directorial effort âAsh,â a sci-fi piece starring Eiza GonzĂĄlez as a woman on another planet whose space station crew is killed and Aaron Paul as the rescuer she isnât sure she should trust. A24, always a significant presence at SXSW, returns to the festival with âDeath of a Unicorn,â a horror comedy in which Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega witness the event its title describes. The Paramount Theater will also host glitzy premieres for âDrop,â a Blumhouse horror pic about a widowed mother (Meghann Fahy) on a date gone wrong, and âHolland,â described as a âtwisted taleâ about a teacher (Kidman) living with her husband in Holland, Michigan when she and her colleague begin to sense a secret in their midst. Matthew Macfadyen, Jude Hill and Gael GarcĂa Bernal also star.
SXSW has curated a high-profile selection of documentaries across multiple sections. Michael Bay makes his nonfiction debut with âWe Are Storror,â about a parkour collective made up of seven childhood friends, and singer-actor H.E.R. directs her first-ever film, fittingly âThe Makings of Curtis Mayfield,â about the influential singer-songwriter. âAre We Good?â witnesses Marc Maron as he mourns his late partner, filmmaker Lynn Shelton. Several more docs focus on the entertainment industry: âForever We Are Youngâ explores the intense, global fan community surrounding K-Pop group BTS, while âMake It Look Realâ gives a step-by-step look at the work of intimacy coordinator Claire Warden and âSeen and Heardâ from executive producer Issa Rae highlights the Golden Age of Black TV.
There are multiple documentaries about artificial intelligence: âAssembly,â following artist Rashaad Newsome as he attempts to use AI âto transform a former military facility into a Black queer utopiaâ; âDeepfaking Sam Altman,â in which âTelemarketersâ co-creator Adam Bhala Lough comedically answers questions about the emerging technology; and more in the short film and XR programs. Other doc highlights include âThe Python Hunt,â a look at a Florida government-funded python removal contest in the Everglades, and âTake No Prisoners,â Vanity Fairâs first-ever feature length film, which delves into the secretive, high-stakes world of hostage rescues.
TV offerings besides âThe Studioâ include â#1 Happy Family USA,â Amazon Prime Videoâs adult animated comedy from Ramy Youssef about a Muslim American family dealing with suspicious neighbors during the time immediately following 9/11. Thereâs also âGovernment Cheese,â Apple TV+âs surrealist family comedy starring David Oyelowo, and âHappy Face,â a Paramount+ series starring Dennis Quaid as the infamous â90s serial killer who drew smiles on the letters he wrote to the world after his crimes.Â
Among the notable stars coming to Austin this year is Kate Mara, who appears in three separate projects. Two are in the narrative spotlight section: âThe Astronaut,â a sci-film also featuring Laurence Fishburne and Gabriel Luna, and âThe Dutchman,â the story of a Black businessman (AndrĂ© Holland) âdrawn into a psychological game of cat and mouse with a mysterious white woman.â Mara also acts in âFriendship,â a Tim Robinson-led dark comedy that premiered at Toronto in 2024 and joins SXSW in the festival favorites section.
Twenty years after âThe Puffy Chairâ premiered at SXSW and launched the careers of brothers Jay and Mark Duplass as darlings of indie cinema, Jay comes back to Austin as the writer-director of âThe Baltimoronsâ in the narrative spotlight section. The section also features projects led by Kelly Marie Tran (âForgeâ), Sadie Sink (âOâDessaâ), Zoey Deutch (âThe Threesomeâ), ZoĂ« Chao (âThe True Beauty of Being Bitten by a Tickâ) and Daisy Ridley (âWe Bury The Deadâ).
Throughout the lineup are several projects with eyebrow-raising, head-tilting, and even jaw-dropping premises, in true SXSW fashion â this is the festival that launched the historic awards campaign of âEverything Everywhere All at Once,â after all. Take âSlanted,â a narrative feature competitor following a Chinese American teen who has surgery to become white in hopes of being named prom queen, for example. Thereâs also âAge of Disclosure,â a doc from Dan Farah that must be seen to be believed, as it features â34 senior members of the U.S. Senate, House, military and intelligence community â revealing a cover-up of the existence of non-human intelligent life and a secret war to reverse engineer technology of non-human origin.â And what other festival could host the world premiere of âFucktoys,â described as a âraucous odysseyâ about a âwanton minxâ who âquests hard across a dreamy landscape of smut, filth and psychics, hustling to lift a curse that has been fucking her shit upâ?
With some selections, their titles alone are enough to determine their SXSW-ness. Look no further than Austin music doc âButthole Surfers: The Hole Truth and Nothing Butt.â
