The final installment in Ti West’s A24 X horror trilogy, MaXXXine, has arrived. With Mia Goth cast as the leading lady once again, the movie has a star-studded cast including singer-songwriter Halsey, The Crown’s Elizabeth Debicki, Lily Collins of Emily in Paris, and Kevin Bacon, who was most recently in Netflix’s Leave the World Behind.
According to A24, the film is set in Hollywood in the ’80s as “adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.”
In conversation with The Verge in July 2024, West explained that while all three films are connected, they were written to serve as stand-alone movies as well.
“That was part of the concept of the trilogy: they would be very different and cinema would be the connective tissue,” he said. “But also, the other two movies are contained, and they didn’t have scope. To take it to Hollywood, to take it to Los Angeles, the movie needed to have scope…if X is a movie about someone who wants to get into the movie business from the outside, and Pearl is about someone who looks at the movie business as hopeful, Maxxxine is a movie where you’re here now. What’s it actually like?”
He also told The Hollywood Reporter, “MaXXXine is different than the other movies. It’s a very fun movie, and I think people are really stoked to see her in a new way from the other movies. She’s a completely fearless actor, and when we made X, that’s what I was looking for and what we found [in Mia].”
Ahead, everything you need to know about streaming MaXXXine from home.
How can you stream MaXXXine?
With a theatrical release of July 5, MaXXXine won’t be on streaming just yet. For now, you’ll just have to head to your local movie theater. Thankfully, A24 and Warner Bros. have a deal set in place, making all future A24 films exclusive to the streaming platform Max. There’s still no official date, but it will likely be a couple more months before MaXXXine makes its way online.
