HBO Original Film Mountainhead, Directed by Jesse Armstrong, Premieres June 1 on Max
HBO has officially announced the premiere of its upcoming original film Mountainhead, the latest must-watch title landing exclusively on Max this June.
Set to debut on Sunday, June 1, this satirical drama is written, directed, and executive produced by the award-winning Jesse Armstrong, best known for creating the Emmy-winning hit series Succession.
The film also marks Armstrong’s feature directorial debut, adding even more anticipation for fans of his sharp storytelling and biting humor. Filming recently wrapped in Park City, Utah, setting the stage for an intriguing new story centered around wealth, crisis, and moral reckoning.
Billionaires, Crisis, and Dark Comedy
Mountainhead follows a group of billionaire friends who gather amidst an unfolding international crisis. The film is expected to explore themes of power, responsibility, and human absurdity—core ingredients that defined Armstrong’s work on Succession.
The film boasts a star-studded ensemble cast, led by Steve Carell as Randall, alongside Jason Schwartzman as Souper (Hugo Van Yalk), Cory Michael Smith as Venis, and Ramy Youssef as Jeff.
Rounding out the cast are Hadley Robinson, Andy Daly, Ali Kinkade, Daniel Oreskes, David Thompson, Amie MacKenzie, and Ava Kostia in supporting roles.
Given Armstrong’s signature style—intense character studies, razor-sharp dialogue, and social commentary—Mountainhead promises to be as thought-provoking as it is entertaining.
A Powerhouse Creative Team
The film is backed by an exceptional team of executive producers, many of whom were key collaborators on Succession.
Joining Armstrong in producing Mountainhead are Frank Rich, Lucy Prebble, Jon Brown, Tony Roche, Will Tracy, Mark Mylod, and Jill Footlick.
With such a seasoned team, viewers can expect a high level of production value, storytelling depth, and performance quality from start to finish.
