Jessica Chastain is back on Netflix today — and this time she is trading the red carpet for the darker side of Nashville.
Heartland, a new Netflix mystery thriller, starts streaming on Friday, 13 November 2026. Chastain plays Misty Jones, a former country music legend who has stayed away from the spotlight for years. When her 22-year-old niece Charlie, a rising country musician, goes missing, Misty comes out of seclusion to find her — and uncovers a murky side of Nashville where no one, including Misty herself, is quite who they seem.
The film is written and directed by Shana Feste, who made the 2010 country-music drama Country Strong. It also stars Garrett Hedlund as Misty's manager Roy Combs, Ross Lynch as Charlie's boyfriend Jace, Jennifer Nettles, John Hawkes and Carter Faith — a real-life country singer — as the missing Charlie.
One thing that makes Heartland different: Chastain sings in the film herself. She performs the title song "Heartland" as a duet with Jennifer Nettles, who Chastain says helped build her confidence as a singer. The film's soundtrack features 15 songs.
At around 1 hour and 52 minutes, Heartland blends country music, film noir and a missing-person mystery — a former star with a complicated past, searching for the niece who was following in her footsteps.
