​Mountainhead is an upcoming HBO original film written and directed by Jesse Armstrong, the Emmy-winning creator of Succession. Set to premiere on May 31, 2025, on HBO and Max, the film marks Armstrong’s feature directorial debut.

The satirical comedy-drama centers on four tech billionaires—Randall (Steve Carell), Hugo Van Yalk (Jason Schwartzman), Venis (Cory Michael Smith), and Jeff (Ramy Youssef)—who convene at a luxurious mountain retreat amid a global economic crisis. As the world teeters on the brink of collapse, tensions rise among the group, particularly as Venis’s controversial tech platform becomes implicated in spreading deepfakes and destabilizing markets.​

Filmed in Park City, Utah, the movie’s setting—a multimillion-dollar ski lodge—serves as both a symbol of opulence and a potential survival bunker. With its sharp dialogue and incisive social commentary, Mountainhead continues Armstrong’s exploration of wealth, power, and moral ambiguity in contemporary society.
