Carter is a real-life country singer-songwriter, which fits the film’s music-driven world.

The project was announced in September 2025 with Jessica, Carter and John attached. Production reportedly took place in Georgia and Nashville.
‘When Can You Watch Heartland?’
Jessica Chastain attended a New York screening ahead of the release and shared photos of her look with her Instagram followers.
The Oscar winner is also known for The Eyes of Tammy Faye and Molly’s Game.
