While lawyers turn courtrooms into battlegrounds and Netflix piles up prestige dramas like trophies in a treasure trove, Monsanto promises chaos with a gavel. Here is all you need to know about this legal juggernaut.

Glen Powell trades his pilot wings for legal briefs, playing Brent Wisner, the lawyer daring to poke the chemical giant. Anthony Mackie steps in as Dewayne 'Lee' Johnson, a groundskeeper turned David in this corporate Goliath showdown. And Laura Dern, eternally cool under pressure, brings gravitas as Monsanto’s resident toxicologist Dr. Melinda Rogers. Together, they are less about objections and more about casually dismantling billion-dollar empires with a smirk. Netflix has, quite literally, assembled its own courtroom Avengers.
While Powell sharpens his legal claws, Dern’s icy calm hints this courtroom is about to get scorched. But what is the juicy true story behind all this legal carnage?

What unfolds is a cinematic crucible where truth and power collide, each cross-examination a duel of ideologies, each witness a reluctant keeper of inconvenient truths. Justice here is not blind; it simply refuses to blink first.
As Wisner maneuvers through billion-dollar defenses and corporate smoke screens, audiences are left wondering: When will Netflix finally unleash this courtroom beast?

Netflix verdict pending: When will Monsanto hit our screens?
Netflix scooped up Monsanto at the Cannes Film Market like it was an Oscar contender hiding in plain sight, adding it to its ever-growing treasure trove of prestige dramas. But here is the kicker: no official release date yet. Early whispers tease a 2025 premiere, leaving fans pacing their living rooms like jury members in deliberation. Until the gavel drops, anticipation simmers hotter than closing arguments. This is Netflix’s slow-burn power play, a legal thriller already guilty of holding the timeline hostage.
