Allen official trailer reveals Petey’s alien reunion before Netflix premiere – Netflix has released the full official trailer and new images for Allen, the Australian film about a man reunited with the alien friend he lost in childhood. The Queensland-set film premieres on 12 November 2026.
This is a new look at the film after Netflix’s earlier teaser. For Australian viewers, the coastal Queensland setting and local creative team put the story firmly at home, even as its premise turns on a secret that could change the world.
As a boy, Petey was inseparable from Allen. Then his alien friend vanished without a goodbye. Twenty years later Allen returns, but the reunion is complicated by the secret he brings back. Petey must finally grow up if he is to help save the world.
