Starting from September, here are 5 of the biggest upcoming Netflix movies of 2022 that are yet to release.

Back in 2021, Netflix revealed that the Jason Momoa starrer fantasy movie Slumberland would release in 2022. He is the playing half-man/half-monster creature called Flip alongside young actress Marlow Barkley. Her character is called Nema, and she goes on to search for her missing father in the mystical dreamland called Slumberland.
Here’s the official synopsis of Slumberland:
“A young girl, Nema, with the help of a large half-man/half-monster creature, travels to a mystical land in her dreams in search of her missing Father. 11-year-old Nema lives in a lighthouse with her father, Peter, who has taught her how to sail. Sadly, Peter dies one night during a storm at sea. Nema is sent to live with her estranged uncle Philip, who is dull and nothing like Peter. Nema discovers a world called “Slumberland” in her dreams. She encounters Flip (Momoa), a creature who claims to have been an outlaw with Peter years ago, stealing things from other peoples’ dreams. Nema decides to go on an adventure with Flip when he claims to know a way that she can wish for her father back.”
Netflix has announced the release date for the Knives Out sequel, but we still don’t have an official release for Slumberland. So, there’s a chance that Slumberland may be pushed to 2023.
