Robert Pattinson is set to star as Chris Hansen in a new psychological crime thriller titled "Primetime," from A24. The trailer premiered on August 6, 2026, showcasing Pattinson's eerie portrayal of Hansen, who aggressively interrogates suspected predators.

The film, produced by Lance Oppenheim and based on true events, explores Hansen's ambition to create a show that matters more than "Lost."

"Primetime" also features Skyler Gisondo, Phoebe Bridgers, Matthew Maher, and Bokeem Woodbine, with a release date set for September 25.
