Florence Pugh's Folk Horror Hit Midsommar Exits HBO Max in October 2026

Fans of elevated horror have limited time to stream Ari Aster's 'Midsommar,' as the film departs HBO Max at the end of October 2026. Starring Florence Pugh in a breakout performance, the movie follows a grieving woman who joins a friend group on a trip to a Swedish midsummer festival that turns sinister. Since its 2019 release, 'Midsommar' has become a modern cult classic, praised for its unsettling atmosphere and Pugh's raw emotional range. Its departure from the platform means subscribers only have a few weeks to watch or rewatch the film before it cycles off the service. For those who appreciate slow-burn terror and striking visuals, now is the time to catch it on HBO Max. After October, viewers will need to find the film elsewhere or wait for its return to streaming.
