Succession creator Jesse Armstrong has his latest project releasing on Saturday, May 31 (or later, depending on where you live). Mountainhead isn’t a TV show but a movie, though it seems to hit on similar themes to Armstrong’s hit show.
Mountainhead is about a group of four friends and tech billionaires, played by Stave Carell, Jason Schwartzman, Ramy Youssef and Cory Michael Smith.
This group meets up at one of their mountain estates for a holiday but finds that the world off the slopes begins to fall into turmoil. The four decide that the best people to save the worlds would be them, and make a new plan for humanity… as their friendships begins to fracture.
The movie promises to blend Armstrong’s satire of the super-rich with timely themes and a more tense atmosphere than Succession.
If you’re excited for this new movie, here’s how to watch Mountainhaid.
