Honey Don’t! has audiences saying the opposite as it seduces its way up the streaming charts. Directed by Ethan Coen, who co-wrote the script with Tricia Cooke as the second installment in their “lesbian B-movie trilogy” after Drive-Away Dolls (2024), the 2025 film follows a small-town private investigator, Honey O’Donahue, as she uncovers a string of bizarre deaths connected to an enigmatic church.

The movie stars Margaret Qualley as Honey O’Donahue, reuniting with Ethan Coen after Drive-Away Dolls, alongside Aubrey Plaza, Chris Evans, Charlie Day, Kristen Connolly, Talia Ryder, and Billy Eichner. Honey Don’t! premiered at the Cannes Film Festival this past May, was released in theaters in August, and started streaming on Peacock on October 3.

Now, shortly after its streaming release, Honey Don’t! ranks third on Peacock’s Top 10 movies in the United States for today, October 6, where it has been for the past two days. It ranks below M3GAN 2.0, The Grinch, and above Corpse Bride, Monster House, Ghostbusters, Scream (2022), Scary Movie, How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, and M3GAN 2.0 (Unrated Version).

Honey Don’t! flew under the radar when it was released in theaters this past August, making only $6.7 million at the box office. Movies like Honey Don’t!, despite its acclaimed director and big stars, often struggle in theaters due to limited marketing and niche appeal, but thrive on streaming, where algorithms and accessibility help them find an audience.

Honey Don’t! was met with mixed reviews from critics and audiences, resulting in 46% and 40% scores on Rotten Tomatoes. Still, as indicated by its streaming success, Honey Don’t offers moments of enjoyment for audiences, with flashes of signature Coen humor, Sєxual swagger, and bursts of dark comedy. It may not have worked well on the big screen, but as laid-back home viewing, it has found a groove.

Though Drive-Away Dolls and Honey Don’t! weren’t big box office hits, a third film in Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke’s “lesbian B-movie trilogy” is in development, тιтled Go, Beavers!, which stars Margaret Qualley once again, follows a women’s crew team, and will be a horror movie. While it also sounds quite niche, perhaps it can eventually find its audience on streaming, such as in the case of Honey Don’t!
