Slumberland Release Date
According to netflixlife, On August 24, 2022, Netflix announced that the movie Slumberland, which stars Jason Momoa, will come out on November 18, 2022. The movie comes out a week before Thanksgiving, so it’s sure to be a big hit with families as they celebrate the holiday.
The main filming was done in May 2021, and as of April 20, 2022, the film had been in post-production for about 11 months. Since this is a fantasy movie, it doesn’t come as a surprise that it took a long time to finish. There are a lot of computer-generated images (CGI) and other special effects that need a lot of editing before they can be shown.
