Netflix Quietly Adding Popular Comedy 'Another Round', With 93% Rotten Tomatoes Score

Thomas Vinterberg's Another Round will arrive on Netflix in the United States on June 4, 2026.

The film has developed somewhat of a cult following since its release in 2020, with critics rallying around the comedic drama as one of the funniest and most thought-provoking films of the decade so far.

Written by Vinterberg and Tobias Lindholm, Another Round stars Mads Mikkelsen, Thomas Bo Larsen, Lars Ranthe, and Magnus Millang as four unhappy high school teachers who decide to test out the philosophical theory that maintaining a low blood alcohol content throughout the day is the key to a happy life.

The friends and colleagues keep themselves moderately drunk whenever possible-at work, at home, and everywhere in between. The theory poses that a constant low BAC can increase creativity, confidence, and ambition, but the men soon learn that it also brings disastrous consequences.

Another Round was an immediate hit with both critics and general audiences, with many viewers praising Vinterberg's ability to balance hilarious character dynamics with some deeply tragic themes, such as alcoholism, mental health, and death.

The film won the Academy Award for Best International Feature at the 2021 Oscars ceremony, with Vinterberg also securing a surprise nomination in Best Director. It was a rare example of a foreign-language film that managed to break out of its home country and find international success.

Today, Another Round sits at 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, with the critics' consensus reading: "Take one part deftly directed tragicomedy, add a dash of Mads Mikkelsen in vintage form, and you've got Another Round - an intoxicating look at midlife crises."

Another Round will arrive on Netflix in the United States on June 4, 2026, which will hopefully introduce the darkly comedic drama to a brand-new audience who may have missed it the first time around.

Alternatively, the film is available to stream on a variety of free platforms, including Fawesome, Plex, Hoopla, and Kanopy. It can also be found on the Roku Channel and Philo, for those with valid subscriptions. Those looking to purchase the film digitally can do so through any major VOD platform, such as Apple TV or Amazon Prime.
