Don’t Worry Darling, starring Florence Pugh<\/a> and Harry Styles<\/a>, is set to come to Netflix<\/a> after being haunted by reported backstage drama throughout its press run. <\/p>\n

The 2022 Olivia Wilde<\/a>-directed psychological thriller, which follows a 1950s housewife (Pugh) who starts to become unnerved by her picture-perfect husband and closed community, when it seems that not everything is as it seems.<\/p>\n

The film launched on Netflix and has hooked viewers, soaring to the top of the streaming charts.<\/p>\n

‘Your movie for the weekend if you love thrillers like that of \u201cGet out\u201d or Shutter Island or Fractured watch this on Netflix \u201c Don\u2019t worry darling\u201d I enjoyed it. #dontworrydarlingnetflix,’ said mynameisAyomi on X.<\/p>\n

‘So i just watched don\u2019t worry darling. oh my f*****g god please go watch it on netflix rn,’ said backtocornelia.<\/p>\n

‘Just watched \u2018Don\u2019t Worry Darling\u2019 on Netflix. It\u2019s like a modern retelling of the Stepford Wives, really enjoyed it \ud83e\udd29,’ said AbandonedBear.<\/p>\n

‘Watched Don\u2019t worry darling for the first time yesterday and what the flip that was actually wild,’ said _holygrailbws.<\/p>\n

And while audiences may have enjoyed the final product, it was fraught with backstage drama that caused chaos on set.<\/p>\n

The film was met with mixed reviews, when it was released, and much of the attention from the film was caught up in the backstage drama on the set<\/a>, which was well reported at the time.<\/p>\n

Among the various rumours was a feud between the director and the leading character in the film.<\/p>\n

It was reported that Wilde would frequently be absent from set, which frustrated Pugh and it was reported that the tensions culminated in a screaming match on set, as reported by Vulture.<\/p>\n

Wilde praised Pugh publicly and blamed the tabloids for the reports of a fallout.<\/p>\n

Pugh did not address the fallout claims and a report said that she would be \u2018limiting press\u2019 <\/a>\u2013 although it was said this was down to the actress\u2019s filming commitments on Dune 2, which she was filming in Budapest at the time of the Venice Film Festival.<\/p>\n
