How do you follow A cultural phenomenon as “succession”? If you are Jesse ArmstrongIt does not hurt to build on what you do best: to make fun of childish billionaires at HBO.
Armstrong returns to the premium cable network In May with ”Mountain head“An HBO original film he wrote and directed with a premise that could be ripped directly out of” inheritance. “They film Follows four technical mogules (played by Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, Ramy Yousef and Cory Michael Smith) with a combined net value of almost $ 400 billion that meets in an alpine mansion for a weekend of skiing and poker. But their bridge ‘refuge is soon tracked when they are struggled for a global degradation that may or may or may not be caused – or at least reinforced and accelerated – by their own social media platforms.

While “Mountainhead” will inevitably see Armstrong that covers a new creative terrain, perhaps the film’s continued focus on dysfunction among US richest families will help to facilitate the pain in “succession” end. Armstrong said earlier That he hoped someone would have talked to him by ending the acclaimed series after four seasons because he liked to do so much.
“The word that will think about for me is” natural “. I hope people, when they see this season, will feel that it has a natural form for it,” Armstrong said in an interview in 2023 with Amount Before Season 4. “That’s how I beat it to my author room, kind of hope that I would be argued by it so we would see a way to do more seasons, because I love working with these people. I think there is a sense of completeness and right to the show’s form.”
“Mountainhead” will be broadcast on HBO on Saturday, May 31 at. 20 ET/PT and will be available to stream at max. Check out the teaser below.
