'Your movie for the weekend if you love thrillers.'
Don’t Worry Darling, starring Florence Pugh and Harry Styles, is set to come to Netflix after being haunted by reported backstage drama throughout its press run.
The 2022 Olivia Wilde-directed psychological thriller, which follows a 1950s housewife (Pugh) who starts to become unnerved by her picture-perfect husband and closed community, when it seems that not everything is as it seems.
The film launched on Netflix and has hooked viewers, soaring to the top of the streaming charts.

And while audiences may have enjoyed the final product, it was fraught with backstage drama that caused chaos on set.

Among the various rumours was a feud between the director and the leading character in the film.
It was reported that Wilde would frequently be absent from set, which frustrated Pugh and it was reported that the tensions culminated in a screaming match on set, as reported by Vulture.
Wilde praised Pugh publicly and blamed the tabloids for the reports of a fallout.
Pugh did not address the fallout claims and a report said that she would be ‘limiting press’ – although it was said this was down to the actress’s filming commitments on Dune 2, which she was filming in Budapest at the time of the Venice Film Festival.
