HBO Max Adds Oscar-Winning Little Miss Sunshine

Little Miss Sunshine, the Oscar-winning tragicomedy directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, joins HBO Max this March. The road trip film stars Toni Collette, Steve Carell, Abigail Breslin, Greg Kinnear and Alan Arkin, and follows a young girl chasing the unlikely dream of becoming a pageant queen.

The film earned two Oscars — Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Screenplay — after its 2006 awards run and holds a 91% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes. The site’s consensus reads, "Little Miss Sunshine succeeds thanks to a strong ensemble cast that includes Greg Kinnear, Steve Carell, Toni Collette, Alan Arkin, and Abigail Breslin, as well as a delightfully funny script." HBO Max will launch in the UK and Ireland on March 26, giving British and Irish viewers access to titles like Little Miss Sunshine.

Production continues on the reimagining of Harry Potter for television, which has been confirmed to debut in early 2027. Release date: August 18, 2006. Runtime: 102 minutes. Writer: Michael Arndt.
