Cameron Diaz Action Comedy Bad Day Lands on Netflix December 11, 2026
Netflix has set a December 11, 2026 premiere for Bad Day, directed by Jake Szymanski and starring Cameron Diaz as a single mother.
Netflix will release Bad Day, an action comedy starring Cameron Diaz, on December 11, 2026, according to comingsoon.net. Jake Szymanski directed the film. No other release details were given.
Laura Solon wrote the screenplay and also serves as an executive producer. Beau Bauman produces through Good One Productions, with Mark Moran as executive producer.
In the film, Diaz plays a single mother trying to keep a promise to her daughter through an increasingly difficult day.
The cast includes Danielle Brooks, Rhenzy Feliz, John Higgins, Mark Duplass, Jessica Belkin, Ed O'Neill, Rob Corddry, Ayden Mayeri, Ben Schwartz, Retta, Emma Pearson, P.J. Byrne, Sherry Cola, Edi Patterson and Beck Bennett alongside Diaz.
Bad Day does not pair Diaz with Jamie Foxx, unlike her earlier Netflix film Back in Action. That film, starring Diaz and Foxx, debuted on Netflix in January 2025 and stayed in the platform's Top 10 for six consecutive weeks; it marked Diaz's return to acting after a decade-long break, with Diaz playing Emily Reynolds, a former CIA operative raising a family in suburban Atlanta.
