Overview
- HBO Max, which announced the plan Friday, will start streaming Wuthering Heights on May 1, and HBO will air it May 2 at 8 p.m. ET.
- An American Sign Language version streams exclusively on HBO Max, performed by Leila Hanaumi and Giovanni Maucere under director Justin Jackerson, marking the platform’s first romance title with two ASL dubbers.
- The Emerald Fennell–directed film stars Margot Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, with Hong Chau, Shazad Latif, Alison Oliver, Martin Clunes and Ewan Mitchell in support.
- The movie earned about $241 million worldwide on an $80 million budget after its February 13 theatrical release from Warner Bros.
- Reviews have been split over Fennell’s bold, erotic reinterpretation, and the quick shift from theaters to HBO Max reflects the current window where major studio films stream a few months after opening.
