The story traces the beginnings of the brand in 1873, when entrepreneur Milton S. Hershey first started a small candy shop in Philadelphia. Over the years, his persistence led him to build a caramel company in 1883 before eventually founding Hershey Chocolate as a subsidiary. The film highlights a defining milestone in 1900, when the first Hershey’s Milk Chocolate bar was created—marking the birth of a legacy that would go on to become globally recognized.
At the heart of the story is Finn Wittrock, who portrays Milton S. Hershey, alongside Alexandra Daddario as Catherine “Kitty” Hershey. Their relationship forms the emotional backbone of the narrative, showcasing how shared vision and resilience helped shape one of the most influential brands in history. Supporting performances from Alan Ruck, Richard Kind, David Costabile, and Heléne Yorke further enrich the storytelling.
What makes Hershey stand out is its focus not just on business success, but on the human story behind it. The film explores Milton Hershey’s early failures, his relentless determination, and the partnership with his wife that helped turn a dream into a global legacy. It positions their journey as one of perseverance, innovation, and impact that extended far beyond candy.
Written by T.M. Hayes and Sharon Paul, with a story crafted by Sharon Paul, Mark Waters, Will Hardy, and Bubba Fulcher, the film aims to blend historical authenticity with emotional storytelling. Angel Studios is set to bring Hershey to theatres during Thanksgiving 2026, positioning it as a feel-good inspirational drama for the holiday season.
With its nostalgic tone and powerful true-story foundation, Hershey is shaping up to be more than just a biopic—it’s a celebration of ambition, partnership, and the sweet reward of believing in a vision before the world does.
