Love Me: Streaming Release Date, Storyline, and Where to Watch Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun’s Sci-Fi Romance
Paramount+ with Showtime is set to debut the unconventional romance film Love Me, starring Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun, on June 16. The movie, which first made waves at the Sundance Film Festival, offers viewers a unique blend of sci-fi, animation, and heartfelt storytelling—exploring themes rarely seen in traditional cinematic romance.
Streaming Release Details
Fans eager to watch Love Me will find the film exclusively on Paramount+ with Showtime beginning Monday, June 16. The movie makes its streaming debut as part of Bleecker Street’s ongoing partnership with the platform, continuing the distributor’s mission to bring critically acclaimed independent cinema directly to home audiences. In addition, viewers can choose to buy or rent the movie through popular platforms like Amazon, ensuring broad accessibility for audiences who missed its limited theatrical run or initial digital release.
A Standout at Sundance
Love Me had its first screening at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival, instantly capturing attention with its original premise and standing out among the festival’s numerous entries for innovation. The film went on to win the Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival—an award reserved for films that focus on science, technology, or spotlight notable scientists and mathematicians. The film’s initial release was managed by Bleecker Street and ShivHans Pictures, adding to both banners’ reputations for supporting forward-thinking features.
Unconventional Storyline
Unlike most romance films, Love Me centers on two non-human protagonists: a buoy and a satellite. The narrative unfolds after humanity’s extinction, as these two sentient entities meet online and embark on a journey of discovery. Through their digital conversations, the buoy and the satellite not only explore the legacy and meaning of life on Earth, but also ponder the nature of identity and love itself. This blend of live-action and animation techniques results in a visually striking, emotionally resonant film that challenges viewers’ expectations about love stories—making it a must-watch for those who crave something different from the genre. The official synopsis describes it as “a buoy and a satellite meet online long after humanity’s extinction. As they learn what life was like on Earth, they discover themselves and what it means to be alive and in love.”
The Creative Team
Love Me is the debut feature from director duo Sam and Andy Zuchero, who both wrote and helmed the project. The film’s principal cast includes Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun, both bringing depth and nuance to their unconventional roles. Produced by ShivHans Pictures, 2AM, and AgX, the film credits include producers Kevin Rowe, Luca Borghese, Ben Howe, Shivani Rawat, and Julie Goldstein, with Daniel Bekerman, Christine D’Souza Gelb, and Connor Flanagan serving as executive producers. This highly collaborative effort highlights the fusion of technical innovation and creative storytelling at the heart of Love Me.
Where to Watch and What to Expect
Starting June 16, audiences can stream Love Me on Paramount+ with Showtime, or purchase it digitally via Amazon and related services. Those looking for a romance that moves beyond human boundaries will find Love Me a refreshing, thought-provoking watch—one that ultimately asks big questions about consciousness, existence, and the enduring nature of connection.
