Jessica Chastain, Carter Faith and John Hawkes to Star in Mystery Thriller HEARTLAND at Netflix
Academy Award winner Jessica Chastain (The Help, The Eyes of Tammy Faye) has signed on to star alongside Oscar-nominee John Hawkes (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, True Detective) and country singer Carter Faith in the upcoming Netflix mystery thriller Heartland, with Shana Feste directing from a script she wrote.
The film follows Misty Jones (Chastain), a former country star who comes out of seclusion to investigate the disappearance of her missing niece (Faith), herself a rising country musician.
She must grapple with her own past and Nashville’s seedy underbelly, and her search uncovers a murky side of Nashville where no one, including Misty, is who they seem.
Chastain has a busy September that began with her getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and will end with the premiere of her Apple TV+ series, The Savant, on September 26. She stars as a top-secret investigator who infiltrates internet hate organizations to bring down the nation’s most violent men. She also recently was seen in the drama Dreams.
Best known for The Sessions and his Oscar-nominated role in Winter’s Bone, Hawkes next can be seen in Amazon series Criminal. For Faith, this marks her acting debut.
