Overnight the thriller film dropped on streaming platforms and it's got us pretty excited about some of the names attached. But of course, we're most excited because, in our eyes, Guadagnino can do no wrong. For everything we know so far about the film, read on...

What is the film about?

Written by Nora Garrett, After The Hunt is slated to be an intense and dramatic thriller film about a university professor, their star pupil, accusations of misconduct and a dark secret threatening to come to light.

While we'll have to wait a little while longer to see how this looks on screen, star Anderw Garfield has shed some light on what it was like working on Guadagnino's set.

“What was exciting and surprising about being with Luca on set was how loose he is, how relaxed he is, how kind of spontaneous, in the moment and totally focused when he needs to be, but he seems to be allowing the day and the scene and the moment to be found,” he shared with Deadline. “He’s such a precise filmmaker, simultaneously, so I found that deeply surprising.”

Who is in the cast?

Julia Roberts stars as Alma Olsson, a tenured college professor whose composed academic life is shattered when a brilliant student, Maggie (Ayo Edebiri), accuses fellow professor Henrik Gibson (Andrew Garfield) of sexual assault. As Alma finds herself caught between believing the student or defending her colleague – who contends the accusation is retaliation after confronting Maggie – her own buried secrets begin to surface.

We also glimpsed eternal cool girl Chloë Sevigny in the trailer, as well as Michael Stuhlbarg, Thaddea Graham and Christine Dye.
