Jenna Ortega Stars in Klara and the Sun Trailer

The new trailer for the upcoming Taika Waititi movie Klara and the Sun reveals a dystopian world occupied by (per the official synopsis) “Klara ( Jenna Ortega ), an Artificial Friend who wants nothing more than to find the perfect home. When Klara meets Josie (Mia Tharia), each immediately senses a kindred spirit in the other. Josie has a fraught relationship with her mother (Amy Adams) and they’ve suffered great loss, but Klara’s innocent wonder and unwavering loyalty begin to heal the family and bring light to Josie’s complicated world.”

Klara and the Sun is based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, with Waititi directing and co-writing the script with Dahvi Waller. The film also stars Aran Murphy, Steve Buscemi, Natasha Lyonne, and hits theaters on October 23rd, 2026. Check out this first trailer below, and revisit our 2023 interview with Waititi , which reveals why the odds of him making a cameo in Klara are pretty damn high.
