A friendship built on shared rent and shared bad decisions gets tested when two broke roommates are swept into someone else's crisis in The Wrong Girls, a 2026 comedy from director Dylan Meyer.
What is The Wrong Girls about?
Best friends and longtime roommates are barely scraping by, splitting bills and passing the time however cheap habits allow, when a case of mistaken identity yanks them out of their routine. Confused for people they are not, the pair get pulled into a chain of escalating misunderstandings that neither of them signed up for and neither can easily talk their way out of. What starts as an inconvenience turns into a genuine scramble, forcing two people who are used to coasting through life to actually improvise under pressure. The comedy leans on the mismatch between their low-stakes daily existence and the sudden, high-stakes mess they land in, with their loyalty to each other as the one constant they can rely on.
About the cast
Kristen Stewart and Alia Shawkat headline as the two friends at the center of the chaos, with LaKeith Stanfield, Zack Fox, Tony Hale, Chris Estrada, Thomas La Barbera Christensen, and Thor Knai rounding out the ensemble. The pairing of Stewart and Shawkat anchors the film's comic chemistry, with the supporting cast feeding the mistaken-identity plot from the margins.
Context & significance
The Wrong Girls arrives from the United States as a 2026 comedy, running 99 minutes. It sits squarely in broad, character-driven comedy territory, built around a premise that trades on confusion and consequence rather than elaborate plotting. Films built on cases of mistaken identity tend to live or die on their central duo's chemistry, and the casting here puts two performers known for very different registers into the same tight spot.
