Julia Roberts Confronts the Past in Gripping First Trailer for After the Hunt

Amazon MGM Studios has dropped the first official trailer for After the Hunt, a tightly wound accusation thriller directed by Luca Guadagnino. Set in the high-stakes world of academia, the film stars Julia Roberts as a college professor whose life unravels when a serious allegation is made against a colleague—forcing her to confront buried secrets from her own past. The trailer teases a slow-burning drama where trust, power, and memory collide in unsettling ways.

 

The ensemble cast includes Ayo Edebiri, Andrew Garfield, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Chloë Sevigny, each playing key roles in the spiraling conflict that unfolds within the university halls. As tensions rise around the accusation, Roberts’ character must navigate her role as both mentor and potential witness, while struggling with a long-hidden truth that could destroy her career and reputation. The trailer hints at intense moral ambiguity, with the line between victim and perpetrator growing increasingly blurred.

 

Written by Nora Garrett, After the Hunt appears to follow in the footsteps of recent prestige thrillers that explore accountability, institutional silence, and the complexity of personal history. Guadagnino, best known for Call Me by Your Name and Bones and All, brings his signature atmospheric direction to what looks like a deeply psychological narrative layered with suspense and emotional depth.

 

Slated for release on October 17, 2025, After the Hunt is already being hailed as an early awards season contender. With a powerhouse performance from Julia Roberts and a provocative storyline anchored in timely themes, the film promises to be both a gripping drama and a cultural conversation-starter.
