Oscar-winning actress Jessica Chastain stars as a former country music superstar in the new Netflix mystery thriller, “Heartland.”
The show, which begins streaming Friday, features Ms. Chastain as Misty Jones, who comes out of seclusion to investigate the disappearance of her niece, Charlie Heart (Carter Faith), a rising country musician.
Ms. Chastain said that singing as Misty meant she “didn’t have to try to mimic another person’s voice,” as she did when playing Tammy Wynette in “George & Tammy.”
