Reading Time: < 1 minute

A24 has released a new official trailer for The Debut. The R-rated musical comedy-drama is writer/director Jesse Eisenberg‘s follow-up to his Oscar-winning 2024 film A Real Pain.

The Debut stars Julianne Moore, Paul Giamatti, Halle Bailey, Havana Rose Liu, Colton Ryan, Lilli Cooper, Maulik Pancholy, Bernadette Peters, and Eisenberg.

Plot Synopsis:

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.

The Debut opens in theaters on December 11, 2026.
