A new romantic comedy with a metaphysical twist arrives just ahead of Valentine’s Day. Eternity, from A24, lands on Apple TV and asks one simple, haunting question: who would you choose to spend forever with? The film spins a love triangle across an afterlife bureaucracy and arrives with a cast led by Elizabeth Olsen, Miles Teller and Callum Turner.
Release date and streaming availability on Apple TV
Eternity officially hits Apple TV on Friday, Feb. 13. Apple has a habit of making titles available a few hours early. That means some viewers may find the film on the service as early as 9 p.m. ET the night before.

What the story is about: the Junction and impossible choices
The film imagines a structured afterlife centered on a place called the Junction. Newly deceased people have a limited window there to pick an Eternity. Each Eternity is a different themed realm, like Mountain World or Studio 54 World.
Once chosen, the decision is final. The plot follows Joan, who must decide between two men she loved across decades. One is Larry, the husband she spent most of her life with. The other is Luke, her first husband, who died young in the Korean War and waited in the Junction for decades.
The emotional tension comes from love, loyalty and the idea that time spent apart can reshape what you want. The film blends romantic stakes with afterlife fantasy and dark humor.
