Robert Pattinson Is Out to Catch a Predator in the Primetime Trailer
Robert Pattinson plays Chris Hansen in a dramatized origin story that revisits the rise of Dateline’s sting series and its ethical fallout.
- A24 released the trailer for Primetime, a drama starring Robert Pattinson as To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen, ahead of its September 25, 2026, theatrical release.
- The film revisits the 2004–2007 Dateline sting series, where Hansen tells suspects to "have a seat," the trailer reveals, while working with watchdog group Perverted Justice to confront alleged predators.
- Director Lance Oppenheim's feature debut stars Merritt Wever as Hansen's producer, Skyler Gisondo as a decoy, and Phoebe Bridgers in her acting debut.
- Following the 2008 cancellation triggered by the suicide of Rockwall County assistant district attorney Bill Conradt, the film examines the ethical fallout and legal repercussions of the sting operations.
- Anticipation builds for the film's Venice International Film Festival debut later this month, with critics expecting Pattinson's intense performance to earn awards recognition this year.
