Cameron Diaz's Wildest Day Yet on Netflix

Cameron Diaz stars in "Bad Day," a new action-comedy set to premiere on Netflix on December 11, 2026. The film centers on Joy, a single mother facing what is described as the absolute worst day of her life as she desperately tries to fulfill a pinky promise made to her daughter.

Directed by Jake Szymanski, "Bad Day" combines significant comedic elements with action sequences, with Diaz herself performing many stunts. The movie also features Ed O'Neill as Diaz's father, and detectives played by Danielle Brooks and John Higgins who are in pursuit of Joy as her day spirals out of control.

Diaz, who has been focusing on raising her young children, describes the role as being in her "mom-com era." She relates to the character's struggle to balance parental duties with other life pressures, acknowledging the difficulty of a parent trying to give their all to their children. The film also stars Rhenzy Feliz, Jessica Belkin, Emma Pearson, Sam Richardson, Ben Schwartz, Rob Corddry, K Callan, and Mark Duplass.
