Emma Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos Drop a Super Bowl Ad So Weird, Even Mercury in Retrograde Would Raise an Eyebrow

Added on January 27, 2026 inTV News Cards

Ever wonder what happens when the cosmic forces of creativity and celebrity align under the Super Bowl’s dazzling lights? Well, buckle up, because Emma Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos—yes, that Oscar-winning duo known for twisting narratives darker than Mercury in retrograde—are diving headfirst into their very first Super Bowl ad together. And it’s for Squarespace, marking the platform’s 12th touchdown at this high-stakes event. Titled Unavailable, this teaser promises to keep us hanging between the first and second quarters of Super Bowl LX, wrapped in Lanthimos’s signature blend of bold, provocative, and unexpectedly hilarious vibes—even if Squarespace swapped out their usual tropes for something fresh. Oh, and did I mention the campaign was shot on black and white film in London? Talk about a moody planetary transit!

The teaser alone has me guessing: what’s behind Emma Stone’s tears? Is this a cosmic omen, a nod to the Capricorn vibe of disciplined suspense, or just a brilliant marketing stroke? Either way, with production designer James Price and composer Jerskin Fendrix on board, I’m ready for the drama to unfold leading up to February 8th. So, grab your star charts and Super Bowl snacks—it’s going to be a wild ride. LEARN MORE

On top of The Favourite, Poor Things, Kinds of Kindness and Bugonia, Academy Award-winning actress Emma Stone and acclaimed director Yorgos Lanthimos are adding yet another project to their award-winning lineup of collaborations: the duo’s first-ever Super Bowl ad. And while website building platform Squarespace replaces the oft-twisted tropes of the pair’s past projects, fans can still count on the bold, provocative and darkly funny nature they’ve come to expect from the partnership.

Titled Unavailable, Squarespace’s forthcoming commercial marks the platform’s 12th Super Bowl appearance, and will air between the first and second quarter of Super Bowl LX. While the game-day spot is 30 seconds long, Squarespace exclusively shared a 15-second teaser with The Hollywood Reporter, seen below.

Unavailable‘s set was built by production designer James Price (Poor Things, Bugonia, The Iron Claw), and the music is the work of Lanthimos’ team and composer Jerskin Fendrix. The campaign was shot in London on black and white film.

In addition to Unavailable, Lanthimos directed the 2026 Super Bowl ad for food delivery app Grubhub (THR received the exclusive first look here). These projects mark the Greek director’s first two Super Bowl ads, while Unavailable marks Stone’s first and only.

As part of the campaign rollout, Squarespace is releasing a series of movie posters, creating a visual narrative that mirrors the suspense and intensity of the teaser. While the rest of the spot — namely the reason for Stone’s tears — is being kept under wraps at the moment, the story will continue to unfold in the lead-up to the big game on Feb. 8.
