HBO Releases Teaser for Jesse Armstrong's Mountainhead Premiere

HBO and Sky have released the official teaser for Mountainhead, the feature directorial debut of Succession creator Jesse Armstrong. The film follows a group of billionaire friends, portrayed by Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, Cory Michael Smith, and Ramy Youssef, who gather at an alpine retreat amid a global crisis. As their camaraderie devolves into tension, the storyline unfolds against escalating international unrest, with glimpses of political turmoil and a direct call from the US president. Mountainhead is written and directed by Armstrong and executive produced by several Succession collaborators, promising a sharp examination of power, greed, and male ambition. The film will premiere on May 31 on HBO and June 1 on Sky and related streaming services. This project marks Armstrong's transition from acclaimed television to film, generating anticipation due to his previous success with Succession.
