Official Trailer
《Primetime》 follows TV host Chris Hansen in 2006 as he tries to create a moment that will go down in broadcasting history after drawing major attention for confronting criminals in the field. Inspired by real events, the film stars Robert Pattinson as a host driven by an obsession with success.
The official trailer shows the production team luring adults who approach minors online and confronting them in houses equipped with cameras. As ratings, the justification of serving the public interest, the crew’s ambitions, and the risks faced by real people become entangled, the act of making the program itself emerges as the center of the tension.
Lance Oppenheim, known for his documentary work, directs this dramatization of a true-story subject. Merritt Wever, Skyler Gisondo, Phoebe Bridgers, Matthew Maher, and Bokeem Woodbine co-star with Pattinson. The trailer vividly captures the provocative format of television at the time, as well as the popular culture that consumed it.
A24 will release 《Primetime》 in theaters on September 25, 2026. The September 11 date listed in the previous post differed from the official work page and trailer release date, so it has been corrected to September 25.
