Leonardo DiCaprio’s critically acclaimed unhinged satire is underpinned by the loud heartbeat of an extravagant, sinful journey that froze theatres in a pleasant disbelief. For a great many people, it is a cult classic, a wickedly done comedy that unravels the unseen side of wealth, ambition, and tragedy better than a normal drama does. Its return to Netflix now opens its door to a new fandom while the old ones relish its rage and moral chaos once again.

Descend into madness as DiCaprio soars to decadent highs and madness this winter.

The Wolf of Wall Street hits Netflix on December 1, 2025, across different regions, including the US. Look forward to re-watching the epic biographical black comedy crime thriller, or prepare to get a crazy introduction to Martin Scorsese's unfiltered take on the stockbroker Jordan Belfort’s rise and fall. Never before has a movie defied limits so boldly as The Wolf of Wall Street, released in 2013, with the dazzling cast of Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, and more.

Jordan Belfort, played by DiCaprio, remains extremely wild, captivating, and discomforting, and worthy of its critical praise and unfathomable accolades. Every aspect of the film makes the audience empathize, while also questioning the fraudulent excess of characters, running deep into their psyche. DiCaprio's stellar performance also earned him the Best Actor – Musical or Comedy Golden Globe. With five Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor, the film has been securely positioned next to the modern classics, but it has also attracted controversies mirroring its plot.

The masterpiece tricks viewers with its apparent lightness of the plot, but seeps into the darkness of the world of sin and redemption, vices or virtues. 

The Wolf of Wall Street tells the story of Jordan Belfort, an ambitious stockbroker who makes a fast buck at the New York Stock Exchange. His rapid way of living and the empire he creates are their own poison. Leonardo DiCaprio’s partner is no other than the amazing Jonah Hill, who plays Donnie Azoff, while Margot Robbie takes the role of Naomi Lapaglia. Its extraordinary ensemble cast also includes Matthew McConaughey, Kyle Chandler, Jon Favreau, and more, each contributing their own share of nuances, tensions, and chaos to the story. 

The movie remained a hot topic in pop culture, gaining both praise and controversy, with critics calling it out for glamorizing reckless wealth, misogyny, and the exploitative use of a live chimpanzee. Behind the screen, the film's production company was also later linked to the enormous 1MDB corruption scandal, a documentary on which runs on Netflix, making it a perfect pair to binge The Wolf of Wall Street, this December.
