HBO’s ‘DTF St. Louis’ Premieres, Launching a 7-Episode Dark Comedy From Steven Conrad

Steven Conrad turns a true‑crime seed into a fictional dark comedy about suburban midlife despair.

Overview

  • Episode 1 debuts March 1 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and streams on HBO Max, with new episodes every Sunday through the April 12 finale.
  • The series centers on a hookup app–sparked love triangle among three middle‑aged adults that, per HBO, results in one of them ending up dead.
  • Early reviews highlight the cast’s performances and the show’s deadpan tone within a murder‑mystery frame, with some reservations about pacing and the detective thread.
  • Jason Bateman, David Harbour and Linda Cardellini lead the ensemble; Steven Conrad serves as creator, writer and director, with Bateman and Harbour as executive producers.
  • Conrad says the project moved away from directly dramatizing a New Yorker article to avoid attributing invented traits to real people, and episodes are also available with ASL interpretation starting at the premiere.
