David Fincher directs Quentin Tarantino's script for this follow-up to 2019's Oscar-winning "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."
by Ryan Lattanzio · IndieWireA proper title and a full trailer are now in view for one of the year’s most anticipated movies: “The Further Mis-adventures of Cliff Booth,” directed by David Fincher and written by Quentin Tarantino. Starring Brad Pitt as the titular Hollywood stuntman, it’s the sequel to 2019’s Oscar-winning “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” It’s set in 1977, eight years after the events of the first film, which centered around the Manson family’s descent upon Hollywood and Sharon Tate.
The additional cast includes Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Peter Weller, Matt Groove, JB Tadena, Corey Fogelmanis, Karren Karagulian.
Here’s a new official synopsis with fresh details about the picture: “Murder, blackmail, theft, extortion — just another summer in Hollywood. It’s 1977, eight years since Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) encountered the Manson family in Quentin Tarantino’s parallel history of 1969, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood. In ‘The Further Mis-adventures of Ciff Booth,’ directed by David Fincher from a new script by Tarantino, the fairytale is over. Los Angeles no longer needs a hippie-slaying stuntman the way it did. But Hollywood will always have problems, problems that can only be solved by someone with Cliff’s unique (occasionally extralegal) abilities.
“When he’s not earning his keep bartending or as a projectionist, Cliff Booth is a fixer — solving situations for Hollywood’s great and, sometimes, not so good. He’s curious when he gets a call from talent agent Karen Crosby (Elizabeth Debicki), on behalf of her client, TV megastar Charlie Peters (Scott Caan) — a man known for doing his own stunts. And he’s further entertained and intrigued when he meets other characters in Charlie’s world, from his knowing wife Toni (Carla Gugino) to pro football champion turned screen star Roderick ‘Hot Rod’ Harrison (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II). Then there are the Verdusco brothers (Matt Groove and JB Tadena), mysterious gangsters causing mayhem across the city. What was once a fairytale is now a crime story — a cocktail of violence, ambition, and desire that could only happen in LA.”
The film will debut for a two-week exclusive engagement in IMAX Theaters globally on November 25, 2026, before debuting on Netflix on December 23, 2026. “The Further Mis-adventures” is Fincher’s latest directorial effort for Netflix after “The Killer,” “Mank,” and the TV series “Mindhunter” as part of his exclusive multiyear content deal with the streamer.
