Special Report: Heartland (2026)
Shownotes
A country star who walked away from the spotlight, a mystery that won't stay buried, and songs that each have a job to do: Heartland (2026) is a Netflix thriller with a country heart.
Mike talks with writer-director Shana Feste ahead of the film's November 13 Netflix release. Feste explains why she writes women who don't care whether anyone likes them, and how film noir helped her uncover the part of Misty, played by Jessica Chastain, that she had left behind.
The film is available to view on Netflix starting November 13, 2026.
