While many are holding their breath for a high-octane reunion behind bars, the truth about the latest viral trailer might leave viewers questioning everything they see on their screen. Fans of the gritty Spanish drama are buzzing over a supposed Hollywood-backed revival, Vis a Vis 2025.

Is the thriller Vis a Vis back again with sequel or spin-off in 2025 or 2026? 

No, there is no official Vis a Vis 2025 on Netflix. The trailer viewers have seen is a fan-made cut; Netflix has not announced any 2025 release for the series or a movie adaptation. The video was titled Vis a Vis (2025): First Trailer, and the title led many to believe that it featured Angelina Jolie and Jason Statham, suggesting a massive casting overhaul was underway.

It is a “fan-made concept trailer for Vis a Vis (2025),” the YouTube description box said.

Even the YouTube video by Future Studio explicitly states in its description box: 'The video or creative piece is a conceptual montage produced solely for artistic expression and audience enjoyment.' It integrates visual effects, audio engineering, and artificial intelligence to manifest a unique cinematic vision.

This imagined thriller attempts to merge the raw intensity of the original Spanish series with a Hollywood flair. It presents a world where survival meets betrayal as two powerful forces collide inside a high-security prison. Despite the polished look in the trailer of these AI-generated clips, they remain a tribute rather than a professional production.
