Sydney Sweeney's 'Eden' hits Netflix this December

Entertainment Dec 14, 2025

Sydney Sweeney and Ana de Armas star in Eden, a survival thriller landing on Netflix this December.
Directed by Ron Howard, the film follows European settlers in the 1920s Galapagos Islands as their search for peace turns into a tense fight against isolation and each other.

Why it matters

Sweeney plays Margret Wittmer, with de Armas as Baroness Eloise Bosquet de Wagner Wehrhorn, joined by Daniel Bruhl, Jude Law, Vanessa Kirby, and more.
While some details stray from history, critics praised the cast's performances.
This release is big for Sweeney after a rough year at the box office—Eden could be her comeback before The Housemaid drops later this month.
