Vis a Vis (2025)
The yellow jumpsuits are back. Netflix has officially confirmed that Vis a Vis — the Spanish cult hit known internationally as Locked Up — is being adapted into a feature film set for release in 2025. Cameras are already rolling, and fans around the world are buzzing with anticipation.
From TV Phenomenon to Cinema Event
Originally launched in 2015, Vis a Vis captivated audiences with its gritty portrayal of life inside Cruz del Sur prison. The series explored power struggles, betrayals, and unexpected bonds among inmates, led by unforgettable characters like Macarena Ferreiro and Zulema Zahir. Now, after four seasons and a spin-off, the story is set to evolve on the big screen with a darker, more ambitious vision.
Who’s Returning
Vis a Vis (2025) is stepping up its game with a star-studded cast. Angelina Jolie and Jason Statham have been confirmed in leading roles, bringing Hollywood firepower to the gritty Spanish franchise. Their dynamic on-screen chemistry — a mix of tension, rivalry, and uneasy alliance — is set to drive the heart of the film. Fans can also expect new faces joining the lineup, raising the stakes for this high-octane prison thriller.
A New Chapter Behind Bars
While the plot is tightly under wraps, early reports suggest the film will center on a high-stakes power shift inside Cruz del Norte prison. Betrayals, alliances, and a daring plan that could shake the entire institution are at the core of the story. Director Jesús Colmenar has hinted at a “bigger, bolder, and even more dangerous” narrative than anything seen in the series.
Bigger Scale, Same Edge
Producers promise that the movie will keep the raw intensity that made Vis a Vis a global sensation, but with cinematic visuals, large-scale set pieces, and a soundtrack designed to amplify every tense moment. Unlike the episodic format, the film will compress the emotional rollercoaster into a two-hour thriller — a format that could heighten both the suspense and the emotional stakes.
Final Word
With filming underway and a 2025 release date on the horizon, Vis a Vis is set to make a dramatic leap from the small screen to cinema. For fans, it’s a long-awaited reunion with beloved characters and a chance to see the story pushed to its most extreme limits yet. One thing is certain: survival has never looked this dangerous.
