A Bold Reinvention for a New Generation
The legendary franchise returns with Charlie’s Angels (2026), a high-octane reboot that blends international espionage, cutting-edge tech, and fierce female power. Directed by Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman), the film introduces a new trio of Angels as they take on a deadly global conspiracy that could collapse the very foundations of the Townsend Agency.
This isn’t just a remake — it’s a reinvention. Stylish, smart, and brutal when needed, the new Angels bring edge, emotion, and elite skills to the screen in a modern espionage thriller.
The Story
After a cyber-terrorist hacks into the Townsend Agency's global network, exposing former operatives and endangering top-level missions, a new generation of Angels is activated. Their task? Track the breach, neutralize the threat, and uncover a hidden traitor within their own ranks.
As they globe-trot from Tokyo to Berlin, Cape Town to Dubai, the Angels unravel a plot that connects rogue A.I., corrupt governments, and a mysterious billionaire tech mogul who claims to know who Charlie really is.
And for the first time ever — Charlie goes missing.
