HBO is about to bless us with another delicious dollop of drama, awkwardness, and rich-people meltdowns — and this time, it’s not from the Roy family (RIP to Shiv’s sanity). Nope. It’s time for Mountainhead — not a band, not a weird TikTok challenge — but the name of HBO’s latest cinematic fever dream cooked up by Jesse Armstrong, the mad genius behind Succession. Yes, that Succession. 🎻

💰 What in the Succession Spin-Off Is This?
Mountainhead is basically what happens when a bunch of billionaires decide to hang out during a global crisis. You know, like rich people do. Instead of bunker shopping or buying Mars, they’re just vibing… dramatically. Expect power plays, awkward silences, and probably someone saying, “I’ll have my assistant cry for me.”

👔 Starring: The Office Boss & the Most Randomly Named People Ever
Let’s talk cast, because this lineup is chef’s kiss chaotic:

Steve Carell plays Randall, presumably the group’s sad dad figure who has read The Art of War and misinterpreted all of it.
Jason Schwartzman is Souper, which sounds like a guy who owns a soup empire but probably just wears a lot of velvet.
Ramy Youssef is Jeff — suspiciously normal name. Red flag.
Cory Michael Smith is Veins. No explanation given. We assume he’s intense. Or just very hydrated.

And the rest of the emotional damage squad includes:
Hadley Robinson as Hester (Regency-core queen energy)
Andy Daly as Casper (hopefully not a friendly ghost, but with Andy, who knows)
Ali Kinkade as Berry (healthy snack or chaotic neutral?)
Daniel Oreskes as Dr. Phipps (100% chance he gives villain monologues)
David Thompson as Leo, Amie MacKenzie as Janine, and Ava Kostia as Paula — who we assume all deserve better.

🧨 Mark Your Calendars, Peasants
Mountainhead drops Saturday, May 31st on HBO, and for the lazy legends among us, it’ll be streaming on Max, so you can watch from bed with Dorito dust on your shirt.

📽️ The Trailer Is Here, and It Is Giving™
Watch the trailer below and feast your eyes on the chaos. Bonus: freeze-frame every time Steve Carell looks like he’s about to have a moral crisis in a sweater vest.

Billionaires. Drama. Global crises. And Steve Carell. Honestly? This might be the most 2025 thing to ever happen.

Would you join a billionaire friend group during the apocalypse or just sit at home watching this movie with a pizza? Be honest.
