Robert De Niro hunts a serial killer who’s already behind bars in Netflix’s The Whisper Man
Frank Carter has been locked up for more than a decade, which makes the fresh wave of child abductions in his old hunting grounds a genuine puzzle rather than a simple manhunt. Netflix dropped the first trailer for The Whisper Man on July 14, 2026, teasing exactly that riddle before the film lands globally on August 28. Robert De Niro plays Pete Willis, a retired detective forced back into the case and into an uneasy reunion with his son Tom, played by Adam Scott, whose eight-year-old boy Jake has just vanished. Adapted from Alex North’s bestselling novel and built around a father-son relationship as much as a killer’s shadow, the film raises the question of how a man behind bars can still seem to be pulling the strings.

It took me a few minutes to work out what movies I was reminded of when watching the new trailer for Netflix's The Whisper Man, but I made it there in the end. The first, and most impressive, is David Fincher's Zodiac, but I also think there's more than a little of Denis Villeneuve's Prisoners in the mix too. That's quite a cocktail.
The film, based on a best-selling novel (which is always a good sign plot-wise) takes a look at a fictional serial killer who seems to target children, at least as far as the trailer makes clear. Having been taken down years ago, he's somehow made it out of prison to start another rampage, and that brings generations of law enforcement into the game.
