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

The limited series turns a hookup app plus a suburban death into a darkly comic study of midlife desire starring David Harbour, Jason Bateman, Linda Cardellini.

Overview

  • Episode 1 debuts Sunday, March 1 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO with streaming on HBO Max, with new installments each Sunday through April 12.
  • Near-simultaneous international releases include Sky Atlantic/Now in the U.K., Crave in Canada, and JioHotstar in India beginning March 2.
  • Creator Steven Conrad wrote and directed all seven parts, with Jason Bateman and David Harbour serving as executive producers alongside starring opposite Linda Cardellini.
  • Framed as a darkly comic mystery, the story follows a love triangle sparked by a local hookup app that leads to a death and a probing investigation told through nonlinear flashes.
  • Conrad confirms the show is largely fictionalized despite an initial spark from a 2017 New Yorker article, while early reviews highlight off‑kilter humor, deliberate pacing and standout performances.
