She’s active, visible, and still embracing exciting roles. Uma Thurman has not disappeared—she’s carving her path across streaming platforms, animation, TV, and even family moments in New York.
Thurman is back in action and beyond:
She stars in The Old Guard 2 (Netflix, July 2025), playing Discord, a villain opposite Charlize Theron’s Andy. Despite limited prep time, her intensive sword training from Kill Bill days paid off.
“Thank God for that… I signed on quite late… didn’t have time to do proper training,” Thurman told The Times about recalling her earlier skills.
She joins Dexter: Resurrection (Paramount+, summer 2025) as Charley, a former Special Ops officer turned security head in the Dexter universe.
An animated return to her Kill Bill roots arrives via Fortnite. In the scene “The Lost Chapter: Yuki’s Revenge,” she reprises The Bride for the first time in 20 years. This will screen in theaters as part of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair.
In animation, she’ll lend her voice to The King of Kings (Angel Studios), released April 2025, bringing depth to an animated retelling loosely inspired by Charles Dickens.
Thurman also appears in Red, White & Royal Wedding, currently filming in the UK since January 2026. She plays Ellen Claremont in this sequel to Red, White & Royal Blue.
On streaming, she plays the eerie Devora Kasimir in Pretty Lethal, a horror-thriller about ballerinas surviving in a menacing forest inn. It hits SXSW in March 2026 before streaming on Prime Video March 25.
Alongside her career, she’s also in the spotlight for her personal life and values:
As a parent of three—Maya (26), Levon (23), and Luna (13)—Thurman spoke about entering the “sunset period” of motherhood, filled with school pickups and emails. She cherishes this quieter, everyday side of parenting.
She’s outspoken about parenting with independence, encouraging her daughters to know the rules but question them when needed.
Seen supporting her daughter Maya at an Off-Broadway debut in June 2025, she appeared relaxed, stylish, and fully present, reflecting deep family bonds.
Thurman lent her voice to the PBS docuseries The Future of Nature, reflecting her environmental values—even calling out a quirk: she washes and reuses Ziploc bags to reduce waste.
When evaluating projects, she’s practical—she’ll walk away if budgets are too low or requirements are impractical. “If there’s not a big enough budget… I’m really, really practical,” she told The New York Times.
Uma Thurman is not just reprising old roles—she’s consciously choosing diverse, bold projects while balancing real life. From action flicks to voice work, streaming to live-action TV, and activism to motherhood, she remains intentional and active.
Uma Thurman is very much present today. She’s continually exploring fresh stories—from fierce action in The Old Guard 2, chilling horror in Pretty Lethal, and dramatic turns in Red, White & Royal Wedding, to innovative animated projects and voice work. At the same time, she’s embracing motherhood, sustainability, and careful project selection. As of early 2026, she’s not just surviving—she’s thriving.
Where can I see Uma Thurman next?
She’ll appear in Pretty Lethal on Prime Video starting March 25, 2026. She also shot Red, White & Royal Wedding in early 2026, and Dexter: Resurrection arrives summer 2025 on Paramount+.
What motivated her break from action roles?
She avoided typecasting after Kill Bill, wanting to preserve the impact of her legacy and not follow up with low-quality action films.
Is she still active in causes or environmental issues?
Yes. She narrated the PBS series The Future of Nature and practices sustainability, like washing Ziploc bags to reuse them.
How is she balancing work and family?
She values filming close to home and being present for her children. Filming Dexter: Resurrection in NYC allowed her to maintain stability.
Is she still close to her Kill Bill legacy?
Absolutely—she even returned to that world in the animated Fortnite scene, bringing The Bride back to life for the first time in over two decades.
How does Thurman choose her roles now?
She’s extremely practical—budget, logistics (like underwater scenes), and meaningful scripts are key. She won’t do projects that feel exploitative or minor.
