Jared Harris Round-up for 2026
It's a busy year for our Captain Crozier!
Currently, Jared has four upcoming films and is likely shooting season four of Foundation.
In a dramatic transformation, Harris will be playing Mikhail Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union. And yes, as far as we can tell, that is just a bald cap.
Starring Jeff Daniels and J.K. Simmons. Directed by Michael Russell Gunn.
Status: Completed; to be released August 14 in cinemas (US).
A sequel to the 2022 film Violent Night, where David Harbour played a disgruntled Santa Claus fighting criminals. There isn't a role listed for him in this yet but please god, let Jared beat up Santa or at least some elves.
Starring David Harbour, Kristen Bell and Joe Pantoliano. Directed by Tommy Wirkola.
Described as a Gothic psychological thriller, this adaption is naturally getting a lot of buzz for its A-list talent. It wouldn't be a surprise if it's a favourite at award season, as it seems like it will be ready in time for Cannes and the Oscars. Jared's role in this isn't named yet.
Starring Leonardo Dicaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Mads Mikkelsen and Patricia Clarkson. Directed by Martin Scorsese.
Status: Principal photography wrapped February 2026; now in post-production.
Another historical figure! Set at the very end of WW2, Jared will be playing Winston Churchill in this drama about the Potsdam Conference. Obviously, Jared is not pictured above.
Starring Guy Pearce as Harry S. Truman and Merab Ninidze as Joseph Stalin. Directed by Anthony McCarten.
As for TV, Foundation was renewed for a fourth season and Harris is expected to return as Hari Seldon. Filming is currently underway in Prague according to this report and it's slated to continue until 12 July 2026. Filming for What Happens at Night took place in Prague a few months ago, with that production wrapping up 35-day shoot in Czechia before moving production to NYC. If that's the case, it would make sense for Jared to shoot these two projects back to back.
Status: In production/filming.

A disclaimer from your friendly Cold Boys in the World mods: we'd like to mention that Brink of War is the work of a production company with a questionable background, Angel - a faith-based, conservative media house that's known for controversial works such as Sound of Freedom (2023). It's worth noting that Jaz previously described his previous work with this production company, Brave The Dark, as the “biggest professional disappointment” of his career mostly due to studio interference.
We're committed to bringing you news about our beloved Cold Boys, but it's also up to you to decide what to engage with and support. Let us know what you think.
