Kendrick Lamar’s Untitled Film Release Delayed to March 2026

The highly anticipated untitled comedy film featuring Kendrick Lamar and produced alongside the creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, has had its release date postponed. Originally set for July 4, 2025, the new premiere date is now scheduled for March 20, 2026, as reported by Variety.

Details Surrounding the Film

Specifics regarding the reasons for this delay have not yet been disclosed, and updates on the film’s production progress remain limited. The film was first announced back in 2022 and showcases a screenplay crafted by Vernon Chatman, notable for his work on Wonder Showzen and as a writer for South Park.

The narrative centers on a young African-American man who takes part in a unique performance as a slave at a “living museum.” Throughout the story, he uncovers the challenging truth that his ancestors once belonged to the same family as those of his white girlfriend.

Director and Production Team

Trey Parker officially joined the project as director in 2023, diving into a fusion of comedy and potent themes that reflect on race and history.

In addition to his film work, Kendrick Lamar is set to embark on a global Grand National Tour next month, joined by fellow artist SZA. This tour will cover performances in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and several European countries.

Earlier this year, Lamar made headlines after performing at the Super Bowl and securing five Grammy Awards, including accolades for Song of the Year and Record of the Year for his track “Not Like Us,” a response to Drake.
