**The Adventures of Cliff Booth (2026): Everything We Know About Brad Pitt's Return**
Brad Pitt is returning to one of his most celebrated roles as *The Adventures of Cliff Booth*, the spinoff/sequel to Quentin Tarantino's *Once Upon a Time in Hollywood*, prepares for its big-screen debut. The film brings back Pitt as Cliff Booth, the laid-back stuntman whose performance earned him his first acting Oscar, this time set eight years after the original's events in a grittier, transformed 1977 Hollywood.
**Release Date and Format**
The film debuts exclusively in IMAX theaters on November 25, 2026 for a two-week global engagement, before streaming on Netflix starting December 23, 2026, positioning it as a Christmas holiday streaming release.
**The Story**
Rather than a direct sequel following the same plot threads, the film functions more as a spinoff, tracking Cliff as an aging former stuntman now working as an industry "fixer," handling scandals and secrets in a considerably grittier, rougher version of Hollywood than audiences saw in the original. The story leans into darker, tougher '70s filmmaking sensibilities, moving further from the original's nostalgic golden-age tribute.
**The Cast**
Alongside Pitt, the film features Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Peter Weller, Timothy Olyphant, Holt McCallany, and Barry Livingston. Notably, Leonardo DiCaprio will not reprise his role as Rick Dalton, having confirmed he's sitting this one out despite reported offers.
**Behind the Camera**
David Fincher directs from a script written by Tarantino, marking a significant creative shift — Fincher's meticulous, darker sensibility (known from films like *Se7en* and *Zodiac*) replaces Tarantino's own directorial voice, suggesting a tonally distinct follow-up to the 2019 original.
**The Trailer**
A surprise first-look trailer dropped during Super Bowl 2026, featuring Cliff opposite Debicki's character, who presses him about the still-mysterious events tied to the Manson Family from the first film. The footage teased gunfire, stunt driving sequences, and a moodier atmosphere befitting its setting.
**Why It Matters**
*Once Upon a Time in Hollywood* earned Pitt his first competitive acting Oscar and received widespread critical acclaim, including Best Picture and Best Director nominations. With Fincher's involvement and Tarantino's script, expectations are high that this follow-up could similarly compete during awards season.
