**The short version:** *Heartland* is an R-rated Nashville mystery, not a cozy country drama. If you loved Jessica Chastain as Tammy Wynette, or you still quote *Country Strong*, it has been streaming on Netflix since November 13, 2026\. Listen to the title track first, and save the soundtrack's in-character songs until after the movie.

Netflix's [Tudum](https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/heartland-release-date-photos-news?ref=beautifullychaoticlife.com) gave *Heartland*'s release date as **Friday, November 13, 2026**, and it's streaming now. It's rated R and runs 1 hour 54 minutes. Chastain plays Misty Jones, a former country megastar who comes out of seclusion to look for her missing niece, Charlie Heart, a rising country musician. Netflix's description says the search "uncovers a murky side of the city where no one, herself included, is who they seem."

## What makes it different

Writer-director Shana Feste made 2010's *Country Strong* with Gwyneth Paltrow. In the [trailer article on Tudum](https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/heartland-trailer?ref=beautifullychaoticlife.com), she says she set out to "write this really complicated, messy, badass woman, Misty," and that "instead of doing a drama like *Country Strong*," she would "lean into the film noir and create a mystery."

Chastain says on Tudum that Misty "could be incredibly tender, and then five minutes later, shoot someone's windows out." She adds: "She's not interested in being liked. And I love women like that on screen because I don't think we get to see them that often."

The cast, per Netflix:

- **Jessica Chastain** as Misty Jones
- **Carter Faith** as Charlie Heart. Universal Music says it's her acting debut.
- **Jennifer Nettles** as Winnie Jo Lean
- **Garrett Hedlund** as Roy Combs, a manager on Misty's list of suspects. He was also in *Country Strong*.
- **Ross Lynch** as Charlie's boyfriend, Jace
- **John Hawkes** as Clark

## The music, and when to listen

Chastain does her own singing, Netflix says, as she did in *The Eyes of Tammy Faye* and *George & Tammy*. The 15-track soundtrack is out from Netflix Music the same day as the film, according to [MusicRow](https://musicrow.com/2026/10/jennifer-nettles-carter-faith-carly-pearce-more-to-be-featured-on-heartland-soundtrack/?ref=beautifullychaoticlife.com). Chastain sings on three tracks:

- **"Heartland,"** featuring Jennifer Nettles. It was originally written and recorded by Hailey Whitters, and it's [streaming now](https://netflixmusic.ffm.to/letyourheartland?ref=beautifullychaoticlife.com).
- **"Family Ties"**
- **"Shouldn't Have Called,"** with John Hawkes

Also on the soundtrack:

- Carly Pearce, "Ready & Waiting"
- Margo Price with John Hawkes, "Too Late for Coffee, Too Early for Beer"
- Jennifer Nettles, "You're Gonna Burn for That"
- Carter Faith, "Still the Sparrow Sings" and "Honeycomb" (featuring Trannie Anderson)

Universal Music Canada's [October 30 release](https://www.universalmusic.ca/2026/10/30/carter-faith-unveils-still-the-sparrow-sings-written-and-performed-for-her-role-in-netflixs-heartland/?ref=beautifullychaoticlife.com) says Faith wrote and performed "Still the Sparrow Sings" for her role.

**A listening plan.** Play the title track before you watch, since Netflix has already put it out. Hold the tracks credited to characters until afterward: "Die With a Secret" by Charlie Heart, "The Night We Met" by Jace Jacobs and Charlie Heart, and "Shut Up & Ride" by Heart Sisters. They're in-story performances, so you'll probably want to hear them in the film first.

## Who should watch, and who can skip

- **Watch it if:** you liked Chastain's Tammy Wynette in *George & Tammy*, you're a *Nashville* or *Country Strong* person, or you want a woman-led mystery with real songs in it. It's a good pick for a night in with a friend who loves country music.
- **Skip it, or save it, if:** you want a feel-good holiday movie. It's rated R, and Tudum's trailer write-up mentions car chases and fistfights. Netflix's [Guarding Stars](https://www.beautifullychaoticlife.com/netflix-november-2026-women-led-watch-list/) on November 18 is the lighter option.
- **For CMA fans:** Carter Faith is nominated for New Artist of the Year at the CMA Awards. Universal Music says the show airs live on ABC on Wednesday, November 18, 2026, at 8pm ET (7pm CT).
