AI Summary

Netflix will debut the gay epic “La Bola Negra” in New York and Los Angeles on Friday, October 16, before a wider theatrical rollout and a Netflix streaming release on Friday, December 2. The film is the latest collaboration of Spain’s celebrated directing duo Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, whose previous credits include the mock‑documentary series “Paquita Salas” (2016‑2019), the acclaimed transgender biopic “Veneno” (2020), the psychological thriller “La Mesías” (2023), the 2017 comedy “Holy Camp!” and the Netflix‑backed Yurena documentary series “Superstar” (2025). Their partnership, already well‑known to cinephiles, survived a personal breakup before the project reached Cannes in May.
