Grab the popcorn! Atlanta actress Catherine Dyer returns to Netflix this month in Heartland, a new mystery thriller starring Academy Award winner Jessica Chastain. Written and directed by Shana Feste, the filmmaker behind Country Strong, Heartland premieres globally on Netflix today, Friday, November 13. Read the full release here.
Set against the backdrop of Nashville’s music scene, the film follows Misty Jones (Chastain), a former country star who steps out of seclusion when her niece, a rising musician played by Carter Faith, suddenly disappears. As Misty searches for answers, she uncovers the city’s darker side and a past she thought she had left behind. Dyer plays Janet, Misty’s sister-in-law, alongside Chastain, Faith, and John Hawkes.
The production brought the story close to home for Dyer, filming at Atlanta’s Shadowbox Studios. “I loved being part of Heartland and working alongside these two incredibly talented women and such a great cast,” says Dyer. “I’m grateful to have been part of it and can’t wait to see what unfolds.”
Raised in Atlanta, Dyer co-founded the city’s Drama Inc. acting studio and spent seven years as a Supervising Producer at A&E Networks, earning a Primetime Emmy nomination in 2003. Heartland caps a busy season for her: she recently returned from Hawkins Forever, the Stranger Things 10th anniversary fan convention in Texas, and appeared earlier this fall with Matthew McConaughey in The Rivals of Amziah King.
