HBO Max Schedule Additions: New TV & Movies Arriving November 7-13

November 6, 2022

A much-talked-about thriller is hitting HBO Max this week.

On Monday, November 7, the streaming service will add Don’t Worry Darling to its available content. Described as an audacious, twisted, and visually stunning psychological thriller, the film is directed by Olivia Wilde from a screenplay written by Katie Silberman, based on a story by Carey Van Dyke and Shane Van Dyke, and Silberman. The film stars Oscar nominee Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, Gemma Chan, KiKi Layne, as well as Chris Pine, and Wilde. Additionally, Nick Kroll, Sydney Chandler, Kate Berlant, Asif Ali, Douglas Smith, Timothy Simons, and Ari’el Stachel.

“Alice and Jack are lucky to be living in the idealized community of Victory, the experimental company town housing the men who work for the top-secret Victory Project and their families,” reads the synopsis. “The 1950s societal optimism espoused by their CEO, Frank—equal parts corporate visionary and motivational life coach—anchors every aspect of daily life in the tight-knit desert utopia. While the husbands spend every day inside the Victory Project Headquarters, working on the “development of progressive materials,” their wives—including Frank’s elegant partner, Shelley—get to spend their time enjoying the beauty, luxury and debauchery of their community. Life is perfect, with every resident’s needs met by the company. All they ask in return is discretion and unquestioning commitment to the Victory cause.

But when cracks in her idyllic life begin to appear, exposing flashes of something much more sinister lurking beneath the attractive façade, Alice can’t help questioning exactly what they’re doing in Victory, and why. Just how much is Alice willing to lose to expose what’s really going on in this paradise?”
