Overview
- Angel Studios released the full official trailer on Monday, June 29, 2026, and the footage confirms Finn Wittrock as Milton Hershey, Alexandra Daddario as Catherine Hershey, and Mark Waters as director.
- The film, which finished production in Pennsylvania in 2025 and shot at 17 state locations, is slated to open on November 25, 2026.
- Milton Hershey School president Peter G. Hurt praised the movie for highlighting Milton and Catherine Hershey's vision and long‑running commitment to education and community.
- Critics and outlets noted the new trailer is a clear improvement over an earlier teaser but several reviewers described the film as a branded, marketing‑driven retelling of the company’s origins.
- The movie traces key business milestones such as a 1873 Philadelphia candy shop, an 1883 caramel business, and the first Hershey milk chocolate bar in 1900, and the trailer is likely to raise public interest in the company, the town of Hershey, and the school founded by the Hersheys.
