What Is Netflix’s ‘Cliff Beasts 6’? It’s Actually Judd Apatow’s New Movie, ‘The Bubble’

April Fools’ Day now lands on…March 2, apparently? Netflix is already rolling out the pranks with noted jokester Judd Apatow, announcing a spoof film called Cliff Beasts 6: Battle for Everest: Memories of a Requiem on Twitter today. While it didn’t take long for fans to call out the tomfoolery — the fake movie’s release date is April 1 — they were still confused over the stacked cast’s photo opp. With stars like Karen Gillan, Leslie Mann, and Keegan-Michael Key in the trailer, is there some sort of other film going on here?

The short answer is: yes, all these folks are making a Netflix movie together. The longer answer is that the comedy movie is in no way related to Cliff Beasts 6, a franchise that doesn’t exist anywhere else on the internet. (Type in “cliff b” into the Google and you’re more likely to accidentally search for “cliff bar.”) So, what in the world is this star-studded film in actuality? It’s called The Bubble, and it’s a new Netflix comedy likely landing on the platform this April 1.

Let’s break this Cliff Beasts/The Bubble all down in simple terms — here’s everything you need to know about Netflix’s April Fools’ prank with Maude Apatow’s Dad.

What is Netflix’s Cliff Beasts 6? Is Cliff Beasts a real film franchise?

Netflix’s Cliff Beasts 6 is a ruse! Did you fall for it? Cliff Beasts is not a real film franchise. The actors in the fake poster and trailer are, however, starring in a real movie together.

What is the trailer for Cliff Beasts 6 actually for? Judd Apatow’s new movie, The Bubble, explained:

Of course the master of comedy, Judd Apatow, had to lay on the April Fools’ Day pranks before the day even rolled around. This movie is a masquerade for his actual film, The Bubble, which will most likely land on Netflix on April 1 in lieu of Cliff Beasts 6.

What is The Bubble about?

We don’t know much about The Bubble quite yet, but it’s meant to be about a group of actors stuck within a pandemic bubble while shooting a movie at a hotel. That movie, of course, is Cliff Beasts 6. The logline for the fake Cliff Beasts 6 reads: “Humankind is threatened once again by a dinosaur species: Cliff Beasts. The team must reunite, after five long years, to battle the Cliff Beasts — but this time on Mount Everest.” Stay tuned for more details about The Bubble‘s plot.

Who stars in The Bubble?

The Bubble may not star Euphoria lead Maude Apatow, but Judd Apatow has cast his wife, Leslie Mann, and second daughter, Iris Apatow, in the film. The movie also stars Karen Gillan, Fred Armisen, Maria Bakalova, Keegan-Michael Key, David Duchovny, Pedro Pascal, Peter Serafinowicz, Vir Das, and Rob Delaney.

Is there a trailer for The Bubble?

No, not yet. We’re expecting a trailer for The Bubble in two days from Netflix. In the meantime, scroll up to watch the faux trailer for Cliff Beasts 6.
