The RIP: Netflix Sets 2026 Release Date for Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's Crime Thriller – Cast, Plot, and Everything We Know
At the Tudum event, Netflix officially announced the premiere date for its upcoming crime thriller The RIP. The film, starring longtime collaborators Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, is set to release globally on January 16, 2026. Directed and written by Joe Carnahan, it also features Teyana Taylor, Sasha Calle, Steven Yeun, and Kyle Chandler in key roles.
Netflix shared a sneak peek of The RIP during the event, though the preview was only shown to those in the room. The film is produced by Artists Equity, the production company launched by Damon and Affleck in 2022.
What is The RIP About?
The RIP follows a group of Miami police officers whose bond begins to fall apart after they discover millions of dollars hidden in a rundown stash house. As word spreads about the massive cash seizure, the team begins to question their loyalty to each other and who they can really trust.
Joe Carnahan said that the film's story is inspired by a personal experience from his friend who worked in narcotics for the Miami-Dade Police Department. 'The Rip came out of a deeply personal experience that my friend went through, both as a father and as head of tactical narcotics,' Carnahan said. 'It's inspired in part by his life and by my love for those classic '70s cop thrillers like Serpico and Heat.'
In addition to Damon and Affleck, the cast includes:
Steven Yeun (Beef, The Walking Dead)
Teyana Taylor (A Thousand and One)
Catalina Sandino Moreno (Maria Full of Grace)
Sasha Calle (The Flash)
Néstor Carbonell (Shōgun)
Lina Esco (S.W.A.T.)
Scott Adkins (John Wick 4)
Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights)
The title is derived from Miami police slang. 'The title for The Rip is simply Miami cop parlance for 'taking the bad guy's stuff,' which is known as 'ripping' it,' Carnahan shared. 'In the event of a seizure of cash or drugs or weapons, the confiscation itself is known as the 'rip.''
The RIP is the latest project from Artists Equity, the artist-driven studio founded by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck in November 2022. Their debut film Air released in spring of 2023 to strong reviews and solid box office numbers.
Since then, they've worked on Amazon's The Greatest Love Story Never Told, Small Things Like These (which opened the Berlin Film Festival), and The Instigators on Apple.

‘Adolescence' overtakes ‘Stranger Things 4' to become Netflix's No. 2 most-watched English-language series ever
British limited series 'Adolescence' has become Netflix's second most-watched English-language show of all time, surpassing the popular 'Stranger Things' Season 4. As of June 1, 'Adolescence' has gathered 141.2 million views since its release on March 13, just 80 days ago. Netflix ranks its top shows based on views gathered in the first 91 days of release, and in that same timeframe, 'Stranger Things 4' had recorded 140.7 million views in 2022. Only Wednesday, the gothic teen mystery series, 'Wednesday', starring Jenna Ortega, holds a stronger position in Netflix's English-language rankings, with a remarkable 252.1 million views in its first 91 days. The success of 'Adolescence' marks a significant moment for British storytelling on the global stage, showing strong viewership across different countries. When expanding the list to include all languages, Korean sensation 'Squid Game' Season 1 remains Netflix's most-watched series ever, with 265.2 million views. Its upcoming second season has also performed strongly in early data, reaching 192.6 million views and placing just behind Wednesday and ahead of Adolescence. With still a few days left in its 91-day tracking window, 'Adolescence' may yet widen the gap between itself and Stranger Things, solidifying its spot in Netflix's streaming history. 'Adolescence' has gained praise for its emotional storytelling, sharp performances, and thought-provoking themes, resonating strongly with both teen and adult audiences. Created by Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham and directed by Philip Barantini, 'Adolescence' is a four-part mini-series that tells the powerful and emotional story of 13-year-old Jamie Miller (played by Owen Cooper), who is arrested after being accused of murdering a classmate. Each episode is filmed in a single continuous take, a creative choice that heightens the drama and makes the viewer feel as though they are right there with the characters, living each moment in real time. With its raw performances, bold direction, and unique storytelling approach, 'Adolescence' has received critical acclaim and strong word-of-mouth support, which have helped propel its global popularity.

Batter up! Things to know as NCAA baseball tournament enters super regionals
Super regionals are the next stop on the NCAA baseball tournament's Road to Omaha. Four of the best-of-three series are Friday through Sunday: Miami at Louisville ; No. 9 national seed Florida State at No. 8 Oregon State ; Arizona at No. 5 North Carolina ; and No. 13 Coastal Carolina at No. 4 Auburn . The four series Saturday through Monday: UTSA at No. 15 UCLA ; Murray State at Duke ; West Virginia at No. 6 LSU ; and No. 14 Tennessee at No. 3 Arkansas . The eight winners advance to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, starting June 13. The Southeastern Conference advanced only four of its record 13 tournament teams to super regionals. That ratio doesn't cut it when the metrics say you're the most powerful conference and you've produced the last five national champions, 10 of the last 15 and have had a team in 14 of the last 15 CWS finals. The top two national seeds, Vanderbilt and Texas, are among the nine eliminated SEC teams. Since 2009, the SEC has failed to get fewer than half its qualifiers through regionals only four times but never fewer than a third until this year. The Atlantic Coast Conference tied the record it set last year with five of its tournament teams making it through regionals. Miami-Louisville is the only all-ACC super regional, so the league is in position to send four teams to the CWS for a second straight year. North Carolina is 13-3 since April 27 and has one of the best feel-good stories in ACC pitcher of the year Jake Knapp, who missed 2024 recovering from Tommy John surgery. Florida State, in supers for a record 19th time, has one of the top offensive players in .400 hitter Alex Lodise. Duke has a 40-win season for the second straight year and third time overall, all under Chris Pollard. Miami is in its first super regional since 2016 after winning at Southern Mississippi as the No. 3 regional seed. Louisville lost six of seven games before going 3-0 in the Nashville Regional. Defending national champion Tennessee will be playing in its fifth straight super regional, but this year has not been a smooth ride. The Volunteers are 26-17 since starting 20-0. Despite losing key pieces from the 60-win title team to the MLB draft, they remain one of the nation's most talented teams. The super regionals will feature three left-handers who are projected as the Nos. 2, 3 and 4 picks in the Major League Baseball amateur draft, according to Jim Callis. Tennessee's Liam Doyle leads the country with 158 strikeouts and pitched nine innings over two appearances in regionals with 16Ks. LSU's Kade Anderson has 156 strikeouts and is coming off seven shutout innings with 11 Ks against Dallas Baptist. Florida State's Jamie Arnold struck out 13 in seven innings against Mississippi State. Arkansas is the highest remaining national seed and its matchup with Tennessee is sure to draw the most eyes. The Razorbacks won two of three at home against Tennessee three weeks ago. A national title is about all that's missing from the resume of 23rd-year coach Dave Van Horn. The Razorbacks have a nation-leading 379 wins since 2017 and were a dropped foul ball away from the 2018 championship. They'll be playing for an eighth CWS appearance under Van Horn, and this could be his last best chance to win the title if he makes it to Omaha. While shaking hands with retiring Creighton coach Ed Servais after the regional final, the 64-year-old Van Horn told him, 'I'm not too far behind you.' With apologies to UTSA, Murray State earned the lovable underdog label by joining 2023 Oral Roberts and 2024 Evansville as No. 4 regional seeds to make supers. Murray State beat No. 10 national seed Mississippi to become the 10th advancing No. 4 regional seed since 1999. Afterward, the Racers tweaked the SEC about the league's 'It Just Means More' slogan, posting on X, 'It Just Meant More.' The Missouri Valley Conference's Racers scored 42 runs over four regional games and have won 27 of their last 32. UTSA, like Murray State, is a team nobody wants to face right now. The Roadrunners earned their first NCAA bid since 2013 and beat the big-brother Longhorns on back-to-back days to make their first super regional. UTSA entered the season 6-26 all-time against the Longhorns but went 3-0 against them this season. The hottest team in the nation is Coastal Carolina, which is in its first super regional since the 2016 Chanticleers won the championship under Gary Gilmore. Kevin Schnall, an assistant on the title team, took over for Gilmore this year and has the Chants poised to make another run. They've won 21 straight, have the nation's best winning percentage and are built on pitching, defense and a versatile offense. Auburn will be a major challenge. The Tigers held a 28-11 scoring margin while going 3-0 in their regional and will host a super regional for the first time under 10th-year coach Butch Thompson. West Virginia's only super regional appearances have come in back-to-back years. The Mountaineers were swept at North Carolina in Randy Mazey's final season. Steve Sabins picked up where Mazey left off and led the Mountaineers to their first Big 12 regular-season title and a program-record 44 wins. They regained their mojo in regionals, going 3-0 in two games against Kentucky and one against host Clemson. They had entered the tournament off losses in nine of their previous 13 games. The legacy of the Pac-12 is alive and well with Oregon State, Arizona and UCLA in super regionals. Oregon State is playing two seasons as a baseball independent while it waits for the Pac-12 to reactivate July 1, 2026. The Beavers notably played only 19 regular-season games at home because of scheduling difficulties. They would end up playing eight postseason games in Corvallis if their series with FSU goes three games. Arizona, now in the Big 12, is in its first super regional since 2016. UCLA, now in the Big Ten, is in supers for the first time since 2019, when it got knocked out by Michigan as the No. 1 national seed. Since the tournament went to its current format in 1999, the team hosting a super regional on its home field has won 69.5% of the time. That's 137 of 197 and does not include three series that were played at neutral sites. college sports: /hub/college-sports
