Heartland Netflix Release: Where to Watch Jessica Chastain’s Thriller
The Heartland Netflix release is Friday, November 13, 2026. Jessica Chastain plays Misty Jones, a former country star who returns to Nashville after her niece, a singer whose career is taking off, disappears. Shana Feste directed the film. Netflix lists it as a feature-length thriller, so you can watch the story in a single sitting.
In India, open the Netflix listing for the 2026 film and check playback there. If you search in the app, add Jessica Chastain’s name or look for the 2026 date. The title also belongs to a Canadian television drama, which can make general searches confusing. For the film, the Netflix synopsis mentions Nashville and a missing singer.
Heartland Netflix release and the story behind the title
Misty Jones has been away from the public eye when her niece Charlie Heart goes missing. Returning to the country music scene gives her a place to start looking, and also brings her back into an industry that knows her by reputation. Netflix’s official film guide describes the story as a mystery built around the search and Misty’s history in Nashville.
That premise gives the film two questions to follow. The immediate one is what happened to Charlie. The other is what Misty can learn from the people who knew Charlie as a performer. Even in the trailer, a public image and a private conversation can carry very different information. Viewers who prefer to discover the clues in order can go directly to the film. The synopsis gives enough context to know why Misty comes back.
Who plays Misty and Charlie?
Chastain leads the film as Misty, and country singer-songwriter Carter Faith plays Charlie. The Netflix title page also lists Garrett Hedlund, John Hawkes, Ross Lynch, Paul Sparks and Jennifer Nettles among the cast. Faith’s involvement connects the film with working country musicians, an important detail for a mystery in which the missing person’s career is part of the story.
Feste previously directed Country Strong, another film set around professional country music. Here the central question is a disappearance. A performance can tell viewers how Charlie presents herself in public, while the investigation gives Misty reason to ask what was happening away from the stage. The setup may appeal to viewers who want a thriller with a specific place and professional world to explore.
If you’re looking up the cast after the film, search for Carter Faith alongside the character name. Charlie Heart is the fictional singer in the story, while Faith has a recording career outside the movie. The distinction is useful when looking for music from the film or for the performer’s other work. The Netflix cast page and soundtrack coverage give viewers a starting point for both searches.
What to know about the soundtrack before watching
Netflix’s trailer and music coverage says the soundtrack includes original performances from the cast and contributions from artists including Margo Price and Carly Pearce. That makes the songs a useful part of the viewing experience. When a character sings, pay attention to who is in the room and who hears the performance. In a story about a rising musician, those details can establish relationships as clearly as dialogue.
The film runs a little under two hours according to Netflix’s published materials. Check the local maturity rating and audio or subtitle options on the title page if you’re planning a group watch. Netflix’s Tudum page also carries the trailer for anyone deciding whether the tone suits the evening.
