If you've been captivated by Rosamund Pike in the recent Netflix hit Ladies First, get ready for a treat. One of her most acclaimed performances is heading to the streaming giant next month. David Fincher's Gone Girl, a psychological thriller that redefined the genre, will be available on Netflix starting July 1, 2026.
Based on Gillian Flynn's bestselling novel, Gone Girl follows the mysterious disappearance of Amy Dunne (Pike) on her fifth wedding anniversary. Her husband Nick (Ben Affleck) becomes the prime suspect, and the media frenzy that follows peels back layers of deception, manipulation, and dark secrets. The film keeps you guessing until the very end, with twists that have become legendary in pop culture.
Directed by David Fincher—the mastermind behind Se7en, Fight Club, and Zodiac—Gone Girl is a near-perfect thriller. It earned Pike an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress and grossed over $370 million worldwide on a $61 million budget. The cast also includes Tyler Perry, Carrie Coon, and Neil Patrick Harris, each delivering standout performances.

The cast includes Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Peter Weller, Elizabeth Debicki, Carla Gugino, and Scott Caan.
