Tiffany Haddishis ready… to star in the Netflix movieMystery Girl, which will be directed byMcG, who previously worked with the streamer onThe Babysittermovies andRim of the World.
Mystery Girlis based on the Dark Horse comic of the same name that was created byPaul TobinandAlberto Alburquerque. The film casts Haddish as a street psychic named Trine, who is living off the grid in Los Angeles and has no memory of who she is or where she came from. Though Trine may not know herself, she’s guided by an omniscient voice in her head that knows everyone else’s business, including their darkest secrets.
When a down-on-his-luck LAPD officer named Cooper seeks out Trine in hopes that she’ll help him crack a case, the two are framed for murder and must work together to clear their names and solve the ultimate mystery – the one behind Mystery Girl herself.
