Chris Rock’s new film, *Misty Green*, is headed to Netflix, despite A24’s pay-one output deal with HBO Max. The dramedy will begin streaming on Nov. 9. Directed by Rock, the film is his first directorial feature in 12 years. It made its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. The Netflix release is linked to Rock’s long-running relationship with the service, built through his comedy specials. That connection has helped bring the A24 film to Netflix rather than HBO Max under the studio’s usual output arrangement. *Misty Green* is scheduled to arrive on the platform in early November, giving viewers a new opportunity to see Rock’s latest work as a filmmaker.
