Best Margaret Qualley Movies and TV Shows
Margaret Qualley has been quietly racking up a mega-impressive resume in Hollywood over the past decade. She is a total movie star, whether she's playing a supporting role or taking the lead, and she isn't afraid to be way more offbeat than your average ingenue. If you are looking for your next watch, here are the best Margaret Qualley movies to check out ASAP. The actor has three movies out in 2025 that are highly anticipated in different ways; One is Honey Don't, her second collaboration with Ethan Coen and a mystery. The second, Blue Moon, is a Richard Linklater movie about the one guy who wasn't celebrating on the opening night of the musical Oklahoma! And the third, of course, is Happy Gilmore 2! In all likelihood, they will be added to this list in due time. But for now, here's what we've got: The star-studded film stars Margaret and Geraldine Viswanathan as lesbian besties on a road trip. But, since this is a Coen brother (singular) film, it's not just any road trip. The two accidentally "rent" a car with a very important briefcase in the backseat. Will they escape the criminals chasing them? Will they find love on the road, or with each other? Classic stuff, if you ask me! WATCH ON PEACOCK From the memes to the Oscar buzz, Coralie Fargeat's The Substance has to be one of Margaret's most well-known films at this point. Her role as the younger version of Demi Moore's Elizabeth Sparkle is supportive in almost every sense of the word... until she isn't. She's a villain. She's a dancer. She's everything women are told to be, plus the absolute gremlin that hides inside. It's brilliant. WATCH ON AMAZON PRIME VIDEO Margaret does not show up until nearly the end of Yorgos Lanthimos' absurdist fairy tale that also stars Emma Stone as Bella Baxter. She plays the second of Dr. Godwin Baxter's experiments, Felicity. As a baby in a grown woman's body, Margaret's dance background is also on display here for great physical comedy moments. Given Poor Things' themes, and not necessarily body horror but certainly body stuff, it's wild that this movie and The Substance were essentially back-to-back. The history books are really going to wonder what we were going through as a culture. WATCH ON AMAZON PRIME VIDEO In this coming-of-age drama directed by Margaret Betts, Margaret Qualley plays one of the titular novitiates at a convent in the 1960s while the Catholic church is undergoing reforms. Her character, Cathleen, is looking for stability at a time when the church finally started to loosen some of its practices and traditions. If that contradiction wasn't conflict enough for one movie, Cathleen is also undergoing a queer awakening whilst surrounded by nuns. WATCH ON AMAZON PRIME VIDEO One thing that's gratifying about Margaret—as a highly in-demand actor with a lot of auteurs clamoring to work with her—is that she has many films directed by women in her resume. That includes Claire Denis' Stars at Noon, a romance between Margaret's journalist character and a businessman played by Joe Alwyn. The film won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival, a feat! WATCH ON AMAZON PRIME VIDEO Margaret plays multiple roles in the Yorgos Lanthimos anthology movie, including a housewife, one half of a polyamorous couple, and identical twins who become the target of a sex cult. Each of the three stories are weird, graphic, and loosely linked. But the cast, which includes Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie, and Hong Chau in addition to Margaret, is endlessly watchable. WATCH ON HULU This film, directed by Gia Coppola, stars Emma Roberts, James Franco, Nat Wolff, Val Kilmer, Talia Shire, Chris Messina, and Margaret of course. It's based on a series of short stories written by Franco himself. It's about bored suburban teenagers and the horrible things they get up to, and Margaret plays one of Emma's character's soccer teammates. However, spoiler alert: the soccer coach is grooming both girls. Awesome... WATCH ON TUBI FOR FREE Quentin Tarantino's epic about Los Angeles in 1969 has a veritable army of stars in the cast. Margaret plays Debra Jo Hillhouse, or "Pussycat," a hitchhiker whom Brad Pitt's character drives to a hippie commune on a ranch where he used to do stunt work. The commune turns out to be the Manson family. Pussycat is inspired by a few historical Manson girls including Ruth Ann Moorehouse, who was charged with attempted murder. Ruth Ann, like Margaret's character in the film, would leave the ranch and lure men with money back on Manson's orders. WATCH ON APPLE TV+ Margaret really gives good '60s/'70s face as we see in many of these movies (as well as Seberg and the bonus mini-series) including The Nice Guys. She plays Amelia, a classic "missing girl" and a person-of-interest in the case that a private detective (and the detective's precocious daughter) has been hired to solve. This movie is a favorite for cinephiles, Ryan Gosling fans, and everyone in between. WATCH ON YOUTUBE TV Margaret plays a dominatrix and Christopher Abbott plays her client who, after one last night together, wants to fire her. Given the nature of their relationship though, he might not be in the best position to do so... Trust us, it's best to go into this one knowing as little as possible. The twists and turns keep coming until the bitter end! WATCH ON HULU As for television, Margaret's Netflix series Maid was a mega-success with audiences, critics, and awards bodies. The show explored mental wellness, domestic violence, and the cyclical nature of poverty even under government assistance. Not only is Margaret ingenious in the role of a young aspiring writer and single mother who cleans houses to support her family, but she got to act alongside her IRL mother Andie MacDowell! WATCH ON NETFLIX This is a mini-series and perhaps not as well known amongst casual Margaret fans as Maid, but it deserves a shout. (Both projects earned her Emmy nominations, after all.) Margaret is so charming and heartbreaking as the dancer/choreographer Ann Reinking. There's a scene inspired something that actually happened IRL, where she is auditioning for a character in one of Fosse's films that is based on herself and an argument she had with Fosse himself, that is so maddening and good it might kill you. And Margaret gets to use her own talents as a dancer, which IMHO she doesn't get to do often enough. WATCH ON HULU

How to Watch the ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer' Movies in Order
In 1997, I Know What You Did Last Summer was released and became a teen horror classic. The movie stars four actors who were huge teen idols of the time: Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr., and Ryan Phillippe. It was a box office success, gained a passionate following, and kicked off a franchise that continues on today with a new movie debuting on July 18. The new I Know What You Did Last Summer follows a similar premise to the original: a group of friends believe that they have accidentally killed someone and end up being sent spooky messages while a disguised killer hunts them down. Hewitt and Prinze reprise their roles of Julie James and Ray Bronson, survivors of the "Fisherman" killer. If you want a refresher on the whole franchise, here's how you can watch everything I Know What You Did Last Summer — including the TV series and the third movie that went straight to video. (It's not so much of a big deal now for something to go straight to streaming, but at the time, straight-to-video was a bad sign.) In the original movie, a group of four friends accidentally hit a man with a car during the summer before they head off to college. They decide to keep the incident a secret, and one year later begin receiving messages from someone who claims to know what they did. Soon, a killer known as "the Fisherman" starts coming after the group as they try to figure out the mystery surrounding the death. STREAM ON MGM+ A year after the release of I Know What You Did Last Summer, the aptly titled sequel I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, hit theaters. It's set one year after the end of the first movie, and Hewitt and Prinze return. This time, "the Fisherman" follows a friend group—including new additions Brandy and Mekhi Phifer—on their trip to the Bahamas. Gore ensues. RENT/BUY ON AMAZON PRIME VIDEO The third movie in the franchise is a standalone sequel, meaning it does include any of the cast from the other two movies and the story is separate, too. This time, a group decides to keep the accidental death of one of their friends secret, because their town believes that he was killed by "the Fisherman." Of course, the real "Fisherman" killer then comes after them. The cast of this movie includes Brooke Levin, David Paetkau, Ben Easter, and Torrey DeVitto. RENT/BUY ON AMAZON PRIME VIDEO A TV series adaptation of I Know What You Did Last Summer debuted on Amazon Prime Video in 2021. (By the way, everything in the franchise is based on the 1973 novel by Lois Duncan.) The show lasted for one season and starred Madison Iseman, Bill Heck, and Brianne Tju. It follows a friend group who cover up a death of one of the friends' twin sister. STREAM ON AMAZON PRIME VIDEO This brings us to the newest movie, which has the same title as the original and the same premise. This time, though, the group at the center of the story have past "Fisherman" killer history to look back on and can seek advice from Hewitt and Prinze's characters. The new stars include Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Tyriq Withers, Sarah Pidgeon, and Jonah Hauer-King. BUY TICKETS HERE
