Briarcliff Entertainment has set a streaming premiere date for their controversial film THE APPRENTICE, which will launch on VOD and digital platforms on November 1st, 2024. The film world premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival before debuting in US theaters on October 11th, 2024.

The Apprentice examines Donald Trump's career as a real estate businessman in New York in the 1970s and 1980s, as well as his relationship with lawyer Roy Cohn. Directed by Ali Abbasi and written by Gabriel Sherman, the film stars Sebastian Stan as Trump, Jeremy Strong as Cohn, Martin Donovan as Trump's father Fred, and Maria Bakalova as Trump's first wife, Ivana.

After premiering at the 77th Cannes Film Festival on May 20, 2024, the film struggled to find American distribution due to its subject matter and an attempt by Trump's legal team to block its release. Briarcliff Entertainment eventually bought the rights, and the film received generally positive reviews from critics but has only grossed about $3.2M at the domestic box-office.
