An official trailer for the comedic drama "The Wrong Girls" has been released, introducing a story about two women with supernatural abilities.

The film represents a shift toward surrealist stoner comedy for its leads, blending high-concept science fiction elements with character-driven humor. It marks a significant theatrical push for distributor NEON, which is positioning the project as a summer release.

The plot follows two aimless young women who unexpectedly gain telepathic abilities [1]. These powers manifest after the pair ingests an experimental drug [1], [2]. The narrative utilizes these supernatural developments to drive the comedic and dramatic tension between the protagonists.

Kristen Stewart and Alia Shawkat lead the cast [1], [3]. The production features a wide array of supporting talent, including Cate Blanchett, LaKeith Stanfield, and Geena Davis [1], [3]. Kate McKinnon is also listed as a cast member in reports from MSN [5].

Adding to the surreal nature of the film is a talking cat [4]. Seth Rogen provides the voice for the feline character [4]. The interaction between the telepathic leads and the talking animal serves as a central comedic pillar of the movie.

Neon has scheduled the film for a theatrical release on Aug. 14, 2026 [1]. While the specific theater locations have not been disclosed, the film is slated for a wide release to coincide with the late-summer movie window [1], [3].

“Two aimless young women gain telepathic abilities after ingesting an experimental drug.”

The project signals a trend toward 'elevated' genre comedies that pair A-list dramatic actors like Stewart and Blanchett with absurdist premises. By blending drug-induced supernaturalism with a talking animal, the film attempts to capture a niche market of adult audiences seeking a hybrid of indie sensibility and studio-backed spectacle.
