Meet the New Beatles: Sam Mendes Confirms Cast for 2028 Film Series

Sam Mendes reveals cast and April 2028 release for four Beatles biopics, starring Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn, Barry Keoghan, and Harris Dickinson.
Sam Mendes’ upcoming Beatles biopics have finally confirmed who’s playing who in the planned four-movie series, along with the official release date!
During CinemaCon 2025, Mendes appeared on stage and introduced the four actors set to portray The Beatles: Paul Mescal as
Paul McCartney,
Joseph Quinn as
George Harrison,
Barry Keoghan as
Ringo Starr, and
Harris Dickinson as
John Lennon.
On stage, Mescal, Quinn, Keoghan, and Dickinson recited lyrics from Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, one of The Beatles’ iconic songs. Mendes also revealed that all four films will be released in the same month—April 2028.
He shared that he has wanted to tell The Beatles’ story for years but struggled to find the right format. A TV series didn’t feel right, and one movie just wasn’t enough.
With the blessing of the original band members and their estates, the four films—dropping in a single month—are set to be a cinematic event like no other. Mark your calendars for April 2028!
