Washington [US], May 16 : Maggie Gyllenhaal's Gothic romance 'The Bride!' is set to premiere on HBO Max on May 22, with the film also scheduled for a linear HBO debut on May 23 at 8 pm ET.

The official synopsis adds, "The two revive a murdered young woman and The Bride (Buckley) is born," as quoted by Deadline.
