The fantasy romance comedy Eternity has made the formal switch to digital streaming after a successful run in international theatres in late 2025. A24 and Apple Studios produced the film, which made its debut on Apple TV+ in India on February 13, 2026. It served as the platform's centrepiece for the Valentine's Day weekend schedule.

What is the central premise of the afterlife in Eternity?

Pat Cunnane co-wrote Eternity and David Freyne directed it, offering a fresh, high-concept perspective on death and the afterlife. The protagonist, Joan, played by Elizabeth Olsen, finds herself at "The Junction"—a bizarre transportation hub that looks like a combination of an airport lounge from the 1960s and a crowded conference centre. Within this world, the departed return to their physical age of "happiest" and are granted a mere seven days to select a themed "eternity" to spend the remainder of their lives in.

The climax occurs when Joan must decide between her two true loves, creating a fundamental conflict. Her 65-year-old husband, Larry (Miles Teller), shows up before her following a routine accident at a family gathering. But Joan's first husband, Luke (Callum Turner), who died young in the Korean War, also shows up. Before Joan came along, Luke would not leave his job as a barman at The Junction, where he had worked for 67 years.

How does the main cast bring depth to these characters?

To handle the heavy moral and emotional implications of its concept, the film is greatly dependent on the chemistry between its leads. Olsen's Joan is a woman torn between the "what if" of a tragic early love and the shared history of their lives. Larry, played by Teller, possesses an air of old-fashioned cynicism mixed with genuine devotion, while Luke, played by Turner, is a calm, patient figure whose life has been defined by the long wait.

John Early and Oscar winner Da'Vine Joy Randolph play the roles of "Afterlife Coordinators" (ACs). Administrative aides like this try to "sell" various perpetual packages, from coastal resorts to mountain wilderness, all the while juggling their own professional rivalries. Eternity was first released in theatres on November 26, 2025, and Olga Merediz plays the role of Karen, Joan's recently deceased friend who offers her a grounded viewpoint among all the otherworldly mayhem. During its theatrical run, it grossed around $36 million worldwide. Critics and viewers alike have met the film with positive reviews.

What artistic style and themes define Eternity?

The film's inventive production design has garnered praise from critics. One point of praise goes to the visual humour in "Junction" and the numerous "Eternity" ads, where huge, rolling curtains dictate the passage of time. Themes of loss, memory, and the merits of a long, flawed life compared to an idealised, fixed moment in time are explored under Freyne's direction, which accentuates a "screwball comedy" atmosphere in contrast to darker portrayals of the afterlife.

All Indian Apple TV+ subscribers can watch Eternity now. The film's strong themes and language earned it a UA16+ rating, and its running time is 1 hour and 54 minutes. It is a major addition to Apple's film schedule for 2026, as it arrives on the platform 79 days after its theatrical launch.
