Daniel Kaluuya and Anna Kendrick‘s latest comedy-drama has found a new streaming home on Netflix. Misty Green debuts on the platform a month after its October 9 theatrical release.
Misty Green is now available on Netflix. Two-time Academy Award host Chris Rock directed, wrote, and produced the film alongside Peter Rice, David Worthen, and Brooks Victoria Thomas. Rock also stars alongside Kaluuya, Kendrick, Adam Driver, Topher Grace, and several other familiar performers.
What is Misty Green with Daniel Kaluuya about?
Produced and distributed by A24, the film follows a faded Hollywood actress who tries to revive her career while navigating her complicated past.
The plot kicks off when Misty Green, played by Rosalind Eleazar, faces an eviction deadline. She has seven days to leave her deceased ex-boyfriend’s house while searching for work and trying to regain control of her circumstances.
Misty’s situation becomes more complicated when she reconnects with people from her past. She encounters a former colleague, her brother, and a filmmaker who could potentially help her land a major role.
Kaluuya plays Jay Green, Misty’s brother, who struggles with mental health challenges. Kendrick appears as Naomi, one of Misty’s best friends. Meanwhile, Adam Driver portrays Zach, a drug-addicted filmmaker and friend whose relationship with Misty adds another complication to her comeback. In addition to Rock and Grace, the supporting cast includes Anthony Anderson, Alexandra Shipp, Tracie Thoms, Amy Landecker, and Kelli Garner.
Before its theatrical release, the film premiered at TIFF 2026. It received generally favorable but mixed reviews. As of this writing, Misty Green holds a 62% Tomatometer score based on 87 critic reviews, and a 68% Popcornmeter score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The film also failed at the box office. Produced on a $5 million budget, the R-rated feature grossed only $160,000 domestically.
