A24 is bringing another darkly entertaining ride to audiences at home. HOW TO MAKE A KILLING makes its exclusive U.S. streaming debut on HBO Max on Friday, June 19, before premiering on HBO linear on Saturday, June 20 at 8:00 p.m. ET.
Led by Glen Powell, the film boasts a standout ensemble cast that includes Margaret Qualley, Jessica Henwick, Bill Camp, Zach Woods, Topher Grace, and Ed Harris. With a title like HOW TO MAKE A KILLING, viewers can expect a sharp, unpredictable story packed with ambition, family drama, and plenty of twists.
The film follows Becket Redfellow (Powell), a blue-collar outsider who was disowned at birth by his outrageously wealthy family. Determined to reclaim the inheritance he believes is rightfully his, Becket is prepared to do whatever it takes—even if a few relatives happen to stand in his way.
Written and directed by John Patton Ford and produced by Graham Broadbent and Peter Czernin, the film delivers the kind of bold storytelling that has become synonymous with A24.
Its arrival also strengthens HBO Max’s already impressive movie lineup, which includes titles from Warner Bros. Pictures, DC Studios, Turner Classic Movies, and Studio Ghibli. Whether you’re chasing new favorites or revisiting beloved franchises, HOW TO MAKE A KILLING looks set to kick off the summer movie season in style.
