An R-rated comedy movie with Chris Evans and Aubrey Plaza in the lead will soon exit Netflix. Oscar winner Ethan Coen helmed the movie and penned the screenplay with his wife, Tricia Cooke.
Honey Don’t! is leaving Netflix next month
Honey Don’t!, the neo-noir black comedy, will leave Netflix on December 3, 2026, according to What’s on Netflix. It originally premiered at Cannes on May 24, 2025, before debuting in US theaters on August 22, 2025. Honey Don’t! is part of Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke’s planned lesbian B-movie trilogy, in which it was preceded by 2024’s Drive-Away Dolls. Chris Evans essays the role of the cult leader Reverend Drew Devlin in Honey Don’t!, whereas Aubrey Plaza plays MG Falcone, a police officer. Set in Bakersfield, California, the movie follows Honey as she investigates a series of strange murders.
Meanwhile, both movies star Margaret Qualley. In Honey Don’t!, she plays the titular private investigator, Honey O’Donahue, while in the latter, Qualley portrays Jamie, a young woman who unwittingly finds herself in the mob’s crosshairs.
After its release, Honey Don’t! received mixed to negative reviews. It currently has a 44% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 180 reviews. Clarisse Loughrey of The Independent (UK) is one of the reviewers who responded positively to the movie.
“Honey Don’t! is the follow-up instalment in what the pair envision as a trilogy of lesbian capers (the third is tentatively titled Go Beavers!),” Loughrey shared. “It’s everything Drive-Away Dolls was, only a little less sharp. Part of that might lie in the choice to return to the more traditional Coen space of the neo-noir, and their wide, bloodied American quilt of strange people in claustrophobic corners of the country. Honey Don’t! has the same scale, but lacks the focus,” she added.
