Stop what you're doing, fantasy fans! A 2025 action fantasy flick based on one of George R.R. Martin's short stories is now available to stream on Netflix, and it takes viewers on a thrilling post-apocalyptic adventure full of magic, monsters, and high-stakes quests that you won’t want to miss.
The film is titled In the Lost Lands, and it was released in theaters in the United States back in March 2025. On July 11, Hulu added the action fantasy movie to its platform. Now, Netflix has finally got its hands on this fantasy epic. However, we want to clarify that this film is not streaming on Netflix worldwide. It’s currently only available in the UK and Ireland, so viewers in other regions may need to wait or use alternative platforms to watch.
In the Lost Lands was written by Constantin Werner and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson. Anderson is best known for being behind movies such as Resident Evil and Alien vs. Predator. Werner, on the other hand, is known for writing the script for and helming the fantasy drama film The Pagan Queen. If you're a big fan of Martin's work, you'd already be familiar with the movie's title. In the Lost Lands is a film adaptation of his short story of the same name.
The story takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. Gray Alys, a formidable and feared sorceress, is sent by a queen on a dangerous mission into the Lost Lands to seize the magical power that could transform her into a werewolf. She is joined by Boyce, a rugged hunter, as they traverse a barren wasteland teeming with both human and supernatural dangers.
The amazingly talented actress Milla Jovovich stars in the leading role of Gray Alys. You might recognize her from the Resident Evil franchise, where she became a fan-favorite for her portrayal of the fearless and resourceful Alice. Her most recent project besides In the Lost Lands was playing the role of Tess in the sci-fi thriller Breathe.
Joining her in the cast as Boyce is Dave Bautista, who is best known for his role as Drax the Destroyer in the Guardians of the Galaxy films, as well as his work in action-packed projects like Blade Runner 2049 and Army of the Dead. Also in the cast are Arly Jover, Amara Okereke, Fraser James, Simon Lööf, Deirdre Mullins, Sebastian Stankiewicz, Jacek Dzisiewicz, and many others.
Most people missed out on In the Lost Lands when it first came out in theaters, but now it's finally receiving some attention. According to Digital Spy, the action fantasy film has climbed to second place on the Netflix movie charts in the UK and Ireland. That said, it seems to be finally finding its audience. If you haven't checked it out yet, now's the perfect time to stream it from the comfort of your own home.
