25 Aug
Summary
- Chastain stars as a reclusive country musician.
- She investigates her niece's disappearance in Nashville.
- The film explores the city's hidden, seedy underbelly.
Jessica Chastain takes on the role of Misty Jones, a reclusive country music star, in the new Netflix drama "Heartland." The film, set to stream on November 13, 2026, sees Misty emerge from seclusion to search for her missing niece, a promising country musician.
Her investigation into the disappearance leads Misty into Nashville's "seedy underbelly," exposing a deceptive side of the city. Chastain, who previously portrayed Tammy Wynette in "George and Tammy," found her Emmy-nominated role provided valuable insight for portraying a country music figure.
The film also features Garrett Hedlund, Ross Lynch, and Jennifer Nettles. Director Shana Feste aimed to present Nashville through a film-noir lens, focusing on a complex, flawed female protagonist.
Chastain was drawn to Misty's unapologetic and reckless nature. "Heartland" is one of two fall releases for Chastain, alongside the horror film "Other Mommy" in theaters October 9, 2026.
