Kaluuya first announced the movie in a post to Instagram last year in March.

The post shows the front cover of The Kitchen's script and the caption reads: "This one has been eight years in the making with director @kibwetavares and producer Dan Emmerson, started from a conversation in a barbershop when I found out kids were doing million pound heists in a minute for £200 to a dystopian London in the future.

"Production just started on The Kitchen. Proud to be co-writing (w/ @_joemurtagh_ ) and producing on this one through my production company 59 percent alongside DMC Film, Film 4 & @netflixuk @netflixfilm."

The Kitchen first premiered at the BFI London Film Festival earlier this year in October.

Festival Director Kristy Matheson reflected on the film at the premiere, as quoted by What's On Netflix: "Kibwe Tavares & Daniel Kaluuya have made a film that totally explodes our expectations of contemporary UK cinema. The Kitchen offers such scope for audiences – the essential social politics and high-octane energy gel perfectly to create an electrifying big screen experience. We could not be more excited to close the festival with this inventive film set in a near future London that showcases this incredibly talented team who call this city home."

The Kitchen is currently set for release on Netflix on 19 January, 2024.
