Sky and MAX have released the official trailer and key art for its upcoming Sky Original film Mountainhead, a darkly satirical drama written, directed, and executive produced by seven-time Emmy® winner and Oscar® nominee Jesse Armstrong, best known for the acclaimed Sky Exclusive series Succession. Mountainhead premieres on Sunday, 1 June on MAX in the U.S., and in the UK - Sky Cinema and streaming service NOW.
Set against the backdrop of a spiraling global crisis, Mountainhead follows a tight-knit group of ultra-wealthy friends whose relationships are tested as the world teeters on the brink. The film stars Steve Carell as Randall, Jason Schwartzman as Souper (Hugo Van Yalk), Cory Michael Smith as Venis, and Ramy Youssef as Jeff.
The film is produced by a powerhouse team, including Jesse Armstrong, Frank Rich, Lucy Prebble, Jon Brown, Tony Roche, Will Tracy, Mark Mylod, and Jill Footlick—many of whom also collaborated on Succession.
Mountainhead joins a growing slate of bold and original storytelling from Sky Cinema. Other recent Sky Originals include the tense thriller Poker Face starring Russell Crowe, the moving drama To Olivia featuring Hugh Bonneville and Keeley Hawes, the action-packed Extortion with Eiza González, and The Amazing Maurice, an animated adventure based on Terry Pratchett’s beloved novel. These films exemplify Sky's continued investment in high-quality, diverse storytelling for UK and international audiences.
With Mountainhead, Sky once again pairs top-tier talent with ambitious storytelling, cementing its position as a leading force in original film production.
