Nuremberg to premiere on Sky Cinema January 2026
Sky Cinema has confirmed that Nuremberg, a gripping new historical thriller, will arrive on the service in January 2026 following its theatrical release this November.
The film brings together a powerhouse cast led by Academy Award® winner Rami Malek as psychiatrist Douglas Kelley, who is assigned to assess Nazi leaders awaiting trial. Starring alongside him are Academy Award® nominee Michael Shannon, Academy Award® nominee Richard E. Grant, breakout star Leo Woodall (speaking German in his role as translator Howard Triest), and Russell Crowe as Hermann Göring, Hitler’s right-hand man.
Written and directed by James Vanderbilt, Nuremberg is adapted from Jack El-Hai’s book The Nazi and the Psychiatrist. The drama plays out as a tense cat-and-mouse battle of intellects, set against the backdrop of the landmark Nuremberg Trials that sought justice for atrocities committed under the Nazi regime.
The film also features John Slattery, Mark O’Brien, Colin Hanks, Lydia Peckham, Wrenn Schmidt, Lotte Verbeek, and Andreas Pietschmann, rounding out its stellar ensemble.
Andrew Orr, Sky’s Head of Original Film, said: “Nuremberg stands as a bold and important project from acclaimed filmmaker James Vanderbilt. We’re proud to present it to UK audiences as a Sky Original: with its stellar cast and timely subject matter, this film represents the kind of ambitious storytelling we’re committed to championing at Sky.”
Produced by Walden Media, Bluestone Entertainment, and Mythology Entertainment, with WME Independent handling global rights, the film’s producers include Richard Saperstein, Bradley J. Fischer, James Vanderbilt, William Sherak, Frank Smith, Benjamin Tappan, Cherilyn Hawrysh, István Major, and George Freeman. Executive producers include Jack El-Hai, Brooke Saperstein, Annie Saperstein, Beau Turpin, W. Porter Payne, Jr., Paul Neinstein, and Széchenyi Funds’ Géza Deme and Tamás Hajnal.
Nuremberg lands in cinemas this November before making its Sky Cinema debut in January 2026.
