Jonah Hill got cancelled in 2023. His ex-girlfriend Sarah Brady publicly leaked their private text messages, and the internet labeled him "controlling" and "emotionally abusive." He was effectively blacklisted from Hollywood.
He didn't do a PR apology tour. He disappeared. He lost 40 pounds — which he says "isn't a success story" but something more uncomfortable about shame and what you do after the worst version of yourself gets exposed to the world. He went to therapy. And then he wrote a screenplay.
That screenplay became Outcome — a dark comedy about Reef Hawk, a famous Hollywood star who gets blackmailed with a video from his past and is forced to go on a soul-searching amends tour, confronting every person he's ever wronged. Hill wrote it, directed it, and stars in it.
The cast is absurd. Keanu Reeves plays the damaged star at the center of the story. Cameron Diaz plays his best friend. Matt Bomer co-stars. Martin Scorsese has an acting role. David Spade, Laverne Cox, and Roy Wood Jr. round out the ensemble. Hill co-wrote the script and directed.
The trailer dropped March 17 and immediately hit YouTube Trending at #22 in the United States. The film premieres on Apple TV+ on April 10, 2026.
What makes this more than a trailer story is what Hill is really doing. After his 2022 documentary Stutz — where he sat with his actual therapist Phil Stutz on camera — Outcome reads like the next chapter of a man processing his worst public moment through art. The movie's premise is essentially a 12-step amends program turned into a screenplay. You can't watch the trailer without seeing Hill's real life bleeding through every frame.
For men 30-55, this hits different. Maybe your worst moment wasn't public. Maybe it was the fight that almost ended your marriage, the text your kid saw, the business partner you ghosted. The question Outcome asks is the one your audience asks themselves at 2 AM: if everyone saw the worst thing you ever did, could you face them? And more importantly — would you try to make it right?
