Succession‘s Emmy-winning creator Jesse Armstrong continues his run on HBO with Mountainhead, which just unveiled its first three photos. The film, currently wrapping up production in Utah, is Armstrong’s feature directorial debut. Armstrong also wrote and served as executive producer.
“I’m intrigued to discover whether being around so many brilliant actors and directors on Succession has in any way rubbed off on me. Let’s hope so,” commented Armstrong. “I’m grateful to Casey Bloys, Francesca Orsi, and the whole HBO team for backing this film so wholeheartedly and helping me pull together a dream team of cast and crew.”
Steve Carell stars as Randall, Jason Schwartzman is Souper (Hugo Van Yalk), Cory Michael Smith plays Venis, and Ramy Youssef is Jeff. Hadley Robinson is Hester, Andy Daly plays Casper, Ali Kinkade is Berry, Daniel Oreskes is Dr. Phipps, David Thompson is Leo, Ami MacKenzie is Janine, and Ava Kostia plays Paula.
“A group of billionaire friends get together against the backdrop of a rolling international crisis,” reads HBO’s synopsis. Frank Rich, Lucy Prebble, Jon Brown, Tony Roche, Will Tracy, Mark Mylod, and Jill Footlick executive produce.
“We’re ecstatic to be back in business with the singular talent Jesse Armstrong coming off our fruitful collaboration on Succession. Jesse once again raises the bar with a bold examination of modern greed, power, and male ambition,” stated Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming, Head of HBO Drama Series and Films. “That this feature serves as his directorial debut will only elevate what is already thrilling on the page, and we couldn’t be more excited to share this timely film with the world soon.”
Mountainhead premieres on May 31, 2025 at 8pm ET/PT on HBO.
