She’s a star. Get ready to reimagine mystery and thrill as Netflix shines a spotlight on Pearl next month.
Set in 1918, the horror film transports viewers to the countryside, offering captivating visuals and a glimpse into a bygone era. Pearl, portrayed by Mia Goth, showcases her edge and dynamic acting as the mad lead. Goth and the cast collaborate for compelling dynamics, with each character adding layers of depth to the dramatic 2022 film.
The whole world is going to know her name. PEARL, an X-traordinary origin story from director Ti West.

This is the third film in Ti West’s trilogy, all proudly starring Goth as the lead. Pearl served as a jump-starting prequel to his 2022 X, starring icons such as Jenna Ortega, Brittany Snow, and Kid Cudi, and 2024’s MaXXXine, featuring Halsey, Elizabeth Debicki, and Lily Collins. MaXXXine is currently creating a stir in theaters and may spark increased demand for its prequel to be more widely available.
Mia Goth says Pearl was the most difficult character of hers to play so far:
