The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth will play exclusively in IMAX theaters globally on Nov. 25, 2026, then stream globally on Netflix on Dec. 23, 2026.
The movie brings back Brad Pitt as Cliff Booth, the stuntman from 2019's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. David Fincher directs from a screenplay by Quentin Tarantino, with Tarantino and Pitt also serving as producers. Netflix Tudum identifies Pitt's return to the Oscar-winning role in its Netflix Tudum announcement, while Consequence details Fincher's directing role and Tarantino's writing and producing work. The two dates give viewers a clear choice between a theater trip and home viewing.

Who directs and writes?
David Fincher directs the film, and Quentin Tarantino wrote the screenplay. Tarantino and Pitt are also listed among the producers. Consequence reports this division of duties.
That structure matters for expectations. Viewers get Tarantino's script and character, but Fincher's direction. Fans of the original should expect a different hand behind the camera.
How does the IMAX window work?
JoBlo reports that Netflix will release the film exclusively in IMAX theaters globally on Nov. 25, 2026, in its JoBlo report on the IMAX launch. JoBlo describes it as Netflix's first exclusive IMAX launch.
Entertainment Weekly reports the engagement is limited to a two-week exclusive run. Theater viewers must attend during that window before it leaves cinemas. After that period, there is no regular theatrical extension in the announced plan.
Where is Cliff Booth in 1977?
The story is set in 1977, eight years after the original film. Former stuntman Cliff now works as a bartender, projectionist, and unofficial Hollywood fixer. NME reports he uses occasionally extralegal methods.
The supporting cast adds new Hollywood contacts around him. NME lists Elizabeth Debicki as agent Karen Crosby and Scott Caan as TV actor Charlie Peters. NME also lists Carla Gugino as Toni and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Roderick Harrison.
IMAX or Netflix: how to choose?
People reports Netflix released the first full trailer on Sept. 21, 2026, confirming both dates.
The practical trade-off is screen size against convenience and cost. NME reports the film begins streaming globally on Netflix on Dec. 23, 2026, in its NME report on the streaming date.
- Choose IMAX Nov. 25-Dec. 8 for the largest screen and earliest viewing.
- Wait for Dec. 23 if you prefer home viewing as a Netflix subscriber.
- Check local IMAX listings early because the two-week window leaves little room for delay.
