Fresh off his acclaimed performance as Tom Ripley in Netflix’s psychological thriller RIPLEY, Andrew Scott continues his streaming success with the upcoming action-comedy BACK IN ACTION, set to premiere on Netflix on January 17, 2025.

Scott’s recent filmography showcases his remarkable range. In 2023, he received widespread praise for his transformative lead role in Andrew Haigh’s ghost story ALL OF US STRANGERS, where he starred opposite Paul Mescal. His emotionally charged performance in RIPLEY (2024) further solidified his status as one of today’s most versatile actors, following his earlier successes in CATHERINE CALLED BIRDY (2022) and the war drama 1917 (2019).

In BACK IN ACTION, Scott joins Hollywood veterans Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx in what marks Diaz’s first film role since 2014’s ANNIE. The plot centers around a seemingly ordinary couple (Diaz and Foxx) whose quiet suburban life masks their former careers as elite secret agents. When their past catches up with them, they’re thrust back into the high-stakes world of international espionage.

This action-packed comeback vehicle for Diaz represents another significant addition to Scott’s increasingly diverse portfolio, bridging his acclaimed dramatic work with more commercial fare.
