Anniversary, the "chilling" thriller with a "powerful climax" starring Bridgerton's Phoebe Dynevor, is getting a new streaming home in the UK. Released last year, Anniversary is coming to Netflix in the UK and Ireland on 1 February, meaning viewers with a subscription will be able to stream the new film soon.
The thriller follows the Taylor family, headed up by Ellen and Paul (Diane Lane and Kyle Chandler), whose lives start to fall apart after they get caught in the turmoil of a rising movement called "The Change".
When Liz (Dynevor), a former student of Ellen's, reappears and starts dating the Taylors' son Josh (Dylan O’Brien), tensions threaten to boil over.
Per the synopsis: "As Liz becomes a part of the Taylor family, tensions rise and loyalties are tested. Liz’s role in "The Change" brings simmering conflicts to the surface, unraveling the fabric of the family just as the nation itself stands on edge during an alarming and challenging time of uncertainty."
Also on the cast are Zombieland: Double Tap's Zoey Deutch, The Handmaid's Tale star Madeline Brewer, Regretting You's Mckenna Grace and Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery actor Daryl McCormack.

"The terror plays out on an intimate scale among this collection of characters, all of them vividly drawn in sharp strokes by the writing and by the deliciously watchable and sometimes unnerving performances from an uncommonly charismatic cast," said The Hollywood Reporter.
Meanwhile, IndieWire said of the film: "Taut and well-acted as this queasy little thriller can be, its unflinching tale of corporate authoritarianism is much too streamlined to reflect the emotional truth of watching totalitarianism in motion."
Anniversary is coming to Netflix on 1 February.
