Netflix has released a first clip from The Electric State, the Russo brothers‘ adaptation of Simon Stålenhag‘s narrative art book.
The Electric State follows a young woman (played by Millie Bobby Brown) who embarks on a perilous journey across the American West in search for her younger brother. Along the way, she is joined by a mysterious toy robot and the roguish smuggler Keats (Chris Pratt). Together, they’ll unravel a mechanical conspiracy at the center of the American heartland.
In a new clip released as part of the Next on Netflix event, the trio catches a ride in a retro VW van — perched on the shoulder of an enormous bot (voiced by Anthony Mackie).
The movie premieres exclusively on the streaming platform on March 14 2025.

The lauded TV series is directed by Tomas Alfredson from scripts adapted by writer Sara Johnsen.

They latch on to that which feels timeless about breakups and divorce. And they touch down on the most important old key scenes, whilst otherwise acting freely and independently.”
– DN, Sweden ★★★★★
“A beautiful monument to the consequences of infidelity. /…/ It’s elegant, glossy, and, just like a good flirt, utterly impossible to look away from.”
– SvD, Sweden ★★★★★
“Brilliant Bergman remake. /…/ A drama that hits all the perfect notes.”
– SR P1, Sweden ★★★★★
“Heartbreaking and piercing /…/ Beautiful, well-acted, poignant and emotionally charged – Faithless is a Swedish TV series treasure which moves you deeply and challenges our ideas about love, power, and betrayal.”
– Moviezine, Sweden ★★★★★
“This is what Swedish film should be like. /…/ This is an adaptation that gets everything right, with adjustments that truly add value.”
