WASP 2026 (Woody Allen Spain Project)

Woody Allen's 51st feature film is set to begin production on October 5, 2026 in Madrid, after the director recently reconnected with producers following weeks of uncertainty. The project, currently known by its working title WASP 2026, is being produced by Allen's Gravier Productions alongside Spanish production company Wanda Visión, with additional backing from 3SIX9 Studios. The film has secured €1.5 million from the Madrid Regional Government and another €1.5 million from Madrid City Council, with financing tied to contractual requirements that Madrid must appear in the final title and feature identifiable regional locations. Originally planned for a spring 2026 shoot, production has now shifted to fall. The $14 million feature will be largely English-language and is expected to feature a high-profile cast, though no actors have been officially confirmed. The project represents Allen's first collaboration with a Spanish production company outside the Mediapro group, following his previous Spain-shot films including Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Rifkin's Festival.
