The Toronto International Film Festival, presented by Rogers, has revealed the lineup for its Midnight Madness program, the final section before the full schedule is released on August 11. The 51st edition of the Toronto International Film Festival, presented by Rogers, runs September 10–20, 2026. Midnight Madness delivers 10 late-night screenings at the Royal Alexandra Theatre, each starting at 11:59 pm and hosted by section curator Peter Kuplowsky. Spanning the full spectrum of midnight movie modes, from classic horror and wicked action to absurdist alt-comedy and the return of gonzo documentaries to the section courtesy of Canada’s Matthew Rankin (The Twentieth Century, TIFF ’19; Universal Language, TIFF ’24), the 2026 Midnight Madness lineup includes six World Premieres across 10 countries of production. Midnight Madness will also include a special screening of Na Hong-jin’s sci-fi action thriller Hope starring Hwang Jung-min, Zo In-sung, and Jung Hoyeon on Wednesday, September 9, the eve before Festival; and a “return to where it all started” screening of Focus Features and writer-director Curry Barker’s breakout success Obsession on Friday, September 11.
