Don’t Worry Darling is a 2022 American thriller directed by Olivia Wilde. The film was first announced in August 2019 after her first directorial film Booksmart was a huge success. 

The filming began in Los Angeles in October 2020, but there was huge media coverage and debate surrounding the movie’s problematic production, which included contradicting accounts of Shia LaBeouf‘s exit and alleged tensions between Olivia Wilde and Florence Pugh.

In an interview with Vogue, filmmaker Olivia Wilde said that she was inspired to make this film after meeting with Gloria Steinem at a gathering in New York, shortly after the election of Donald Trump.
