With‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ a jesting highlight on the British period drama tradition, Fackham Hall is on its way to its release. Set in England of the 1930s, it combines a classic manor-house setting with broad parody and references to the well-known titles in the genre.The movie, directed by Jim O’Hanlon and written by comedian Jimmy Carr (feature screenwriting debut alongside Patrick Carr and The Dawson Brothers), acts as a spoof that intends to subvert the familiar tropes with a modern comedic touch.One of the main talking points of the movie was the cast and the intentional mix of diverse works, including Downton Abbey, Airplane!, and the comedy of Monty Python. The film will be released in both the United States and the United Kingdom.The shooting of Fackham Hall took place at various historically significant locations in England, and the film will premiere in the US on December 5, 2025, with a UK theatrical release following on December 12.When and where can people watch Fackham Hall?

It will then be premiered in the United Kingdom on December 12, 2025. Bleecker Street, the company responsible for the film's distribution, is planning the movie as a theatrical title for the holiday season.Most of the filming for Fackham Hall took place in Yorkshire, and the production was completed towards the end of 2024. Some shots were taken at Knowsley Hall, Liverpool, and around Thornton Hough, Wirral. These two places were selected to visually resemble the area of the traditional English-stately-home dramas that the movie intends to satirize.The work on the movie began in November 2024, while the cast was entirely disclosed during the filming. As a satire of the most famous period movies and series, it deliberately doubles down on familiar surroundings, intending to use the absurdist style of its script to differentiate itself from conventional historical narratives.Read More: Paramount sets release dates for Sonic spinoff movie and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live-action in 2028What is Fackham Hall about and who stars in it?Fackham Hall (Image via Bleecker Street)Fackham Hall is about the life of Eric Noone, a pick-pocket who, unconventionally, lands a job at a strange English manor house. While Eric is making his way through the staff hierarchy, he falls in love with Rose Davenport, the daughter of the household, a love that they have to keep secret.The story becomes a murder mystery when a killing occurs on the estate, and Eric is framed for the crime. The plot, then, revolves around clearing his name while the Davenport family grapples with a bleak future.The concerted effort of stacking one dramatic scene after another with some incredibly exaggerated and comedic ones, Bleecker Street calls the movie a merging of period melodrama and broad parody, taking the framework of the classic manor-house storytelling and overplaying it for comedic effect.The cast includes:Damian Lewis as Lord DavenportThomasin McKenzie as Rose DavenportBen Radcliffe as Eric NooneKatherine Waterston as Lady DavenportTom Felton as ArchibaldJimmy Carr as the VicarLizzie Hopley, Emma Laird, Anna Maxwell Martin, Tom Goodman-Hill, Sue Johnston, Magdalena Sverlander, Tim McMullan, and others in supporting roles.Read More: When will Dust Bunny premiere?
