Carly Pearce Makes Her Film Debut in My Jesus
Country singer Carly Pearce will make her acting debut in the film My Jesus, Billboard reported on 10 November 2026. She will make a special appearance in the picture, which means a brief, one-off role rather than a leading part.
My Jesus is an upcoming film from Lionsgate, one of the large Hollywood studios, and Kingdom Story Company, a production company. The story follows the career journey of Anne Wilson, a Christian-country artist. Christian-country is country music with faith at its centre, and Wilson has built her career in that space.
The film is inspired by Wilson's book My Jesus: From Heartache to Hope. Its title and its central story both come from that book, which traces her path through hard times toward a sense of hope.
Aliza Kate Barlow plays Wilson on screen. Kay Oyegun will direct the film and also wrote the screenplay, the written script the actors work from.
The cast list is long. It includes Abby Glover, Sophia Bunnell, Chloe Flowers, Cheyenne Jackson, Pilot Bunch, Beau Bridges, Monica Potter and Charles Esten. Bridges and Esten are both established screen actors, and the group mixes film and television experience with newer faces.
For Pearce, the role adds a new kind of work to a music career built on records and touring. Acting requires a different schedule, with set days, long shoots and a script to learn, and a cameo is usually the smallest version of that commitment.
Pearce is known in country music for her songs and her live shows. This film marks her first acting credit, according to the Billboard report.
The report did not include a release date for My Jesus, so fans waiting to see the film will need to watch for an announcement from Lionsgate or Kingdom Story Company.
