Brad Pitt is set to reprise his role as Cliff Booth in the upcoming sequel, “The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth,” directed by David Fincher and scheduled for release in late 2026.
Brad Pitt is officially returning to the big screen as Cliff Booth in the much-anticipated sequel to Quentin Tarantino’s 2019 film, *Once Upon a Time in Hollywood*. The new film, titled *The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth*, promises to take audiences on a fresh journey through a transformed Hollywood landscape.
Netflix has confirmed that the sequel will be directed by David Fincher, with Tarantino himself penning the screenplay. Fans of the original film can look forward to seeing Pitt back in action as the laid-back stuntman, but the new adventure raises questions about what challenges Cliff will face in this evolving cinematic world.
The release date for *The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth* is set for November 25, 2026. The film will first be shown in IMAX theaters worldwide for a two-week run before it becomes available for streaming on Netflix starting December 23, 2026. The announcement was made via a teaser on social media, which reignited excitement for Pitt’s character and the film’s star-studded lineup.
In this sequel, the story picks up eight years after the events of the original film, transitioning the narrative to 1977. This period marks a significant shift in Hollywood, presenting Cliff with a vastly different industry than the one he navigated in 1969. While the first film offered a fictionalized glimpse into late-’60s Hollywood, the sequel will focus entirely on Cliff and the various escapades he encounters.
Pitt’s portrayal of Cliff Booth earned him his first Academy Award for acting, solidifying the character’s place in cinematic history. In the original film, Cliff served as the stunt double and best friend to Rick Dalton, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, who portrayed a fading Western star. The chemistry between Pitt and DiCaprio was a highlight of the film, and fans are eager to see how Cliff’s character evolves in this new narrative.
Earlier this year, Netflix teased Pitt’s return during the Super Bowl, where a brief clip featured Cliff stating, “I don’t possess many talents, but I know better than to get in the way of a good story.” This line hints at the humorous and adventurous tone that fans can expect from the sequel.
While Tarantino has written the screenplay, he has opted not to direct this installment, a decision he previously explained by stating he did not want his final directorial effort to be a sequel, despite his affection for the script. Instead, David Fincher, known for his acclaimed work on films such as *Fight Club* and *The Social Network*, will take the helm.
The cast for *The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth* includes a diverse ensemble alongside Pitt, featuring Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Peter Weller, Matt Groove, JB Tadena, Corey Fogelmanis, and Karren Karagulian. With such a talented group, the film is poised to deliver an engaging continuation of Cliff’s story.
Pitt is also involved in the production of the film, alongside Ceán Chaffin, ensuring that his vision for the character remains intact. As the release date approaches, anticipation continues to build for what promises to be an exciting chapter in the life of Cliff Booth.
As fans eagerly await the sequel, they can expect a blend of nostalgia and new adventures that reflect the changing tides of Hollywood. With Tarantino’s writing and Fincher’s direction, *The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth* is shaping up to be a noteworthy addition to the cinematic landscape.
