First Trailer for Bob Odenkirk’s Neo‑WesternNormal’ Drops as Magnolia Targets April 2026 Theatrical Release

The first look pairs Ben Wheatley’s direction with Derek Kolstad’s script to reunite Odenkirk with his Nobody collaborators.

Overview

  • Magnolia Pictures released the debut teaser on December 15, introducing Odenkirk as a provisional sheriff in a small Midwestern town.
  • The official synopsis teases a botched bank robbery that exposes a wider conspiracy, turning the town against the sheriff without revealing major plot turns.
  • U.S. theatrical rollout is planned for mid‑April 2026, with outlets split on the exact date (reported as April 16 or April 17) and some noting it could be Magnolia’s widest release to date.
  • The film features supporting performances from Henry Winkler and Lena Headey and credits Odenkirk, Kolstad, and Marc Provissiero as producers.
  • Normal premiered in TIFF’s Midnight Madness program in September 2025, helping build genre buzz ahead of the broader release.
