With the release date for Don’t Worry, Darling set for this month, fans won’t have to wait long to see this year’s most anticipated picture.
It’s the film that creatively – and romantically – brought Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde together. So it’s no wonder that there’s a lot of excitement about the imminent release of Don’t Worry Darling. Mr. Styles, the Love on Tour showman, is joined by a slew of other Hollywood talent in bringing to life a story that seems aesthetically ideal on the surface. But if you peel the surface, you’ll find something more terrible in store.
Don’t worry, Darling will have its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September, alongside the upcoming Netflix treat White Noise, starring Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig.
Don’t Worry Darling: Release date

Plot and Storyline for Don’t Worry Darling
Don’t worry, Darling is a suspenseful thriller set in 1950s America. It follows Alice (Florence Pugh) and her husband Jack (Harry Styles) as they make a life for themselves in suburbia. However, in a world where the image is everything, the picturesque utopian community experiment they’ve joined doesn’t appear to be all it’s built up to be. Alice soon finds herself having terrifying visions that threaten to upheave everything.

“A 1950s housewife (Pugh) living with her husband (Styles) in a utopian experimental society begins to wonder that his dazzling firm may be harboring terrible truths,” according to the official synopsis.
Don’t Worry Darling: Cast
Don’t be concerned. Darling marks the debut of popstar Harry Styles as a leading man. The 28-year-old, who previously appeared in the film Dunkirk, took over the main part when actor Shia LaBeouf backed out or was apparently sacked due to creative disputes.
“I believe the tale as a whole drew me to the part of Jack,” Styles said in an email from Toronto, where he was performing on his Love On Tour. “It felt like a chance to play someone really complicated, stuck between love and obsession.” There were always two sides to each character to explore. It’s nice to portray someone who makes you feel like you’re working out the entire time.”
