FATHER, MOTHER, BROTHER, SISTER directed by Jim Jarmusch is set to be released this year. Jarmusch mentioned in an interview that they submitted the comedy-drama anthology at the 78th edition of Cannes Film Festival. The film is divided into three parts, in the part MOTHER, Cate plays a therapist named Emily who is navigating complex family dynamics with her sister played by Vicky Krieps and mother played by Charlotte Rampling. Their part was filmed in Dublin in January 2024.

Estranged siblings reunite after years apart, forced to confront unresolved tensions and reevaluate their strained relationships with their emotionally distant parents.

Three separate stories all concern the relationships between adult children, their somewhat distant parent (or parents), and each other. Each of the three parts takes place in the present, and each in a different country. Father is set in the Northeast U.S., Mother in Dublin, Ireland, and Sister Brother in Paris, France. The film is a series of character studies, quiet, observational and non-judgmental. A comedy, but interwoven with threads of melancholy.

In the spring, production of the alien invasion comedy ALPHA GANG directed by Nathan Zellner and David Zellner will begin. Cate leads the film as Alpha One, the leader of alien invaders disguised as leather-clad biker gang. She is also a producer on the film through Dirty Films.

Alpha Gang centers on a group of alien invaders sent to conquer Earth. Disguised in human form as a 1950s leather-clad biker gang, dubbed the Alpha Gang. They are ruthless in their mission, until they succumb to the most toxic and contagious human condition of all: emotions.
