The NSFW Cut Finally Finds Its Home

If you, like us, already screened the romance‑meets‑BDSM coming‑of‑age film Pillion — starring Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling — then you know the theatrical version was the N‑rather cut. Meanwhile, the rental/streaming release arrived noticeably edited.
But now the real one is coming.
HBO has officially acquired the rights and will premiere the unrated version.
The full, unfiltered cut of Pillion will hit HBO Max on June 5, 2026, followed by a linear HBO airing on June 6, 2026.
A24’s dark, intimate, boundary‑pushing adaptation of Box Hill has already sparked conversation — and now viewers will finally see the version that played in select theaters, the one that stirred all the early buzz.
Mark your calendars. The unrated ride is almost here.
