The official trailer for Josephine, starring Channing Tatum and Gemma Chan, has just been released ahead of the film’s theatrical debut. The movie premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival and will hit theaters on November 20, 2026.
Written and directed by Beth de Araújo, Josephine centers on an eight-year-old girl who witnesses a violent crime in Golden Gate Park. The traumatic event leaves her emotionally scarred, causing her to act out aggressively. The story also explores the strain this places on her parents, who fight to protect her and seek justice.
Newcomer Mason Reeves plays the title role, delivering a powerful performance praised by critics. Reeves was discovered by director de Araújo at a local farmers market, a story she shared during the film’s Sundance premiere. She described the emotional bond she developed with Channing Tatum on set, particularly enjoying playful moments between scenes.
Josephine has already earned significant acclaim, winning both the Grand Jury Prize Dramatic and Audience Award Dramatic at Sundance. With its intense and emotional narrative, it promises to be a standout psychological thriller this fall.
