A24 has released a new trailer and poster for their upcoming comedy THE DEBUT, which will launch in US theaters on December 11th, 2026. The film world premiered at this year’s Telluride Film Festival.
The Debut is written, co-produced and directed by Jesse Eisenberg, and stars Julianne Moore, Paul Giamatti, Halle Bailey, Havana Rose Liu, Colton Ryan, Lilli Cooper, Maulik Pancholy, and Bernadette Peters.
In the film, when Mona Friedman is cast in a bit part at a small community theater, she transforms from a shy, unassuming housewife into a zealous method actor willing to do anything to protect the artistic integrity of her marginal role—even if it means waging war against the show’s domineering director.
You can find the release date on our In Theaters Calendar. Check out the new official trailer and poster below.
