Jake Gyllenhaal is set to star in a new action thriller movie on Netflix titled Kill Switch, marking his first original streaming project with the platform in five years. This collaboration reunites Gyllenhaal with Netflix after his acclaimed crime thriller The Guilty, and brings together a strong creative team led by writer and executive producer Harrison Query.
Creative Team and Production Details Behind Kill Switch
Kill Switch is being developed by Harrison Query, known for the film Heads of State, which became a Prime Video hit upon its release in July 2025. The film’s production team includes notable figures such as Matt Reeves and Lynn Harris from 6th & Idaho, Josh McLaughlin representing Nine Stories, and Scott Glassgold from 12:01 Films. While specifics about Kill Switch’s plot remain under wraps, early reports compare its tone and style to intense thrillers like Sicario and Collateral.
Harrison Query’s Expanding Streaming Portfolio
Besides Kill Switch, Harrison Query is collaborating with Jake Gyllenhaal on another project, Code Black, which has been sold to Amazon MGM. Query also contributes to several other Netflix originals, including the A24-produced TV series Trigger Point starring Joel Edgerton, and The Operator, a film featuring Mark Wahlberg. His growing presence in the streaming world highlights his ability to deliver popular content across platforms.
Other Projects and the Anticipation Surrounding Kill Switch
While details about Kill Switch are scarce and its production timeline is yet to be confirmed, the announcement signals a likely upcoming release. Jake Gyllenhaal’s current slate of streaming work also includes Road House 2, filming for Prime Video, and he is producing but not starring in Presumed Innocent season 2. Given Gyllenhaal’s busy schedule and Query’s multiple projects, the film’s priority remains uncertain, though fans can expect the thriller to arrive sooner than later.
