The Cat in the Hat trailer: First look at Bill Hader's animated Dr. Seuss movie
The first trailer for The Cat in the Hat has arrived, and it's a kaleidoscope of wild visuals, witty chaos and nostalgic charm. Warner Bros. Pictures Animation reimagines the Dr. Seuss classic for a new generation, with Bill Hader voicing the iconic mischief-maker. Slated for a February 2026 theatrical and IMAX release, the film promises a whirlwind journey through imagination, laughter and some serious hat tricks. The first trailer for The Cat in the Hat is out now(Warner Bros.) From the opening seconds, the trailer makes it clear: this isn't your 2003 Mike Myers version. The animation by DNEG (Nimona, That Christmas) explodes with colour and fluid motion. Bill Hader's Cat bursts through Gabby and Sebastian's world, sent on a mission by the whimsically named I.I.I.I. - the Institute for the Institution of Imagination and Inspiration - to help the siblings adjust to their new town. Hader's voice work adds the right mix of energy, charm, and just enough chaos. Fans of Dr. Seuss will notice modern updates in both tone and humour, without losing the heart of the original tale. Watch trailer here: Loaded cast, lively vibes Joining Hader is an all-star voice cast including America Ferrera, Quinta Brunson, Matt Berry, Bowen Yang, Giancarlo Esposito, Paula Pell, Tituss Burgess, Xochitl Gomez, and Tiago Martinez. From what the trailer hints, the chemistry and comic timing are top-notch. Directors Alessandro Carloni (Kung Fu Panda) and Erica Rivinoja bring Seuss's rhyming spirit into a cinematic form that's more suited to animation than live-action ever was. Unlike the 2003 film, this version feels balanced, whimsical but not overwhelming, silly but still emotionally grounded. More Seuss on the way This adaptation marks a new chapter for Warner Bros. Pictures Animation under Bill Damaschke's leadership. The studio is also working on Oh, The Places You'll Go!, set to release in March 2028. If The Cat in the Hat connects with audiences, it could be the beginning of a whole new Seuss-verse. The trailer ends with the Cat's signature wink and a teaser of the chaos to come - a reminder that when the hat shows up, rules go out the window. FAQs: Q1.

Bill Hader developing Jonestown series at HBO, may star as cult leader Jim Jones
Bill Hader is co-writing a Jonestown-centered drama series in development at HBO, with plans to also direct and potentially take on the lead role of cult leader Jim Jones. There's no official greenlight or production timeline yet, but if the project moves ahead, HBO could be looking at one of its most intense true crime adaptations yet. The project, which the Barry star is developing alongside Damages co-creator Daniel Zelman, will chronicle the rise and tragic fall of the Peoples Temple and the infamous 1978 mass murder-suicide that claimed over 900 lives in Jonestown, Guyana. Hader and Zelman are co-writing, executive producing, and will act as co-showrunners. Should the series move forward, it would mark a major tonal shift for Hader, known for balancing comedy and psychological tension in Barry, which earned him two Emmys for lead actor. This new project leans fully into historical drama, focusing on the manipulation, paranoia, and eventual catastrophe that surrounded Jones and his followers. The announcement comes amid renewed pop culture interest in the Jonestown story, recently referenced in an episode of Apple TV's The Studio. The Jonestown tragedy has been revisited numerous times in film and television, most notably in the 1980 CBS miniseries Guyana Tragedy: The Story of Jim Jones and through various documentaries and books. HBO previously attempted to launch a Jonestown series from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan in 2016, but it never advanced.
