Fackham Hall, Bleecker Street’s raucous British period comedy, is officially headed to digital platforms with a confirmed late-2025 VOD rollout. The film, which brings together a stacked ensemble cast in a countryside manor full of snobbery, schemes, and romantic chaos, will be available to rent or buy at home after its early-December U.S. theatrical run.
What is Fackham Hall About?
Set in and around an opulent English manor in the early 20th century, Fackham Hall follows Eric Noone, a lovable pickpocket who suddenly finds himself living among the aristocracy when he lands in the grand estate of the Davenport family. As Eric navigates the rigid class hierarchy and absurd etiquette of the house, he falls into a forbidden romance with Rose Davenport, the spirited young woman of the family, even as he becomes the prime suspect in a murder that upends the estate’s already chaotic social order.
While Archibald, a scheming rival suitor, angles for Rose’s hand in marriage, tensions explode within the Davenport clan, led by Lord and Lady Davenport, who are also reeling from the spectacularly disastrous wedding of their eldest daughter to her caddish cousin. With a script by comedian Jimmy Carr (in his feature screenwriting debut) alongside Patrick Carr and The Dawson Brothers, and direction by Jim O’Hanlon, the film plays as a gleefully irreverent riff on classic country-house farces, powered by a cast that includes Ben Radcliffe, Thomasin McKenzie, Katherine Waterston, Emma Laird, Damian Lewis, Tom Felton, and Lizzie Hopley.
Where to Watch Fackham Hall Online?
Following its U.S. theatrical bow on December 5, 2025, Fackham Hall is set for a digital VOD release on December 26, 2025, when it will hit major transactional platforms in the U.S. Viewers can expect the film to be available to rent or purchase on services such as Amazon and other standard digital storefronts, where it will be listed at typical new-release pricing for home viewing. You can pre-order the title at a discounted price here.
Retail listings and preorder options are already beginning to appear, with Amazon highlighted as a key early destination for those looking to secure opening-day access to the film at home. For fans of British comedy, period spoofs, and ensemble-driven farce, this VOD rollout offers a chance to catch the film without needing access to its limited theatrical footprint.
When and Where Will Fackham Hall Stream?
As of now, a specific subscription streaming platform (such as Netflix, Max, or Hulu) has not been officially announced for Fackham Hall. Current release details focus on its theatrical window and the confirmed December 26 VOD debut, with no confirmed timeline yet for when the title might migrate to an all-you-can-stream service as part of a flat-fee subscription.
If Bleecker Street’s recent release patterns hold, the film is likely to follow a familiar path: a theatrical run, followed by a digital rental/purchase phase on major VOD platforms, and only later a deal with a subscription streamer or premium-cable outlet. Viewers eager to see it at the earliest opportunity should therefore plan around the late-December digital release, with any potential subscription streaming premiere likely to arrive some time after its initial VOD and home-video life has begun.
Festival Run & Critical Reception
Fackham Hall is positioned as a broad, crowd-pleasing period comedy rather than a typical festival-circuit art film, and current reporting centers on its commercial rollout rather than an extensive run through major international festivals. Early attention has largely emphasized its high-concept premise—a class-clashing, murder-tinged romp in a stately home—and the novelty of Jimmy Carr’s transition into feature screenwriting, alongside the starry cast drawn from across British and international film and television.
Industry coverage and VOD announcements frame the film as a holiday-season comedy play, with its late-December digital release designed to catch viewers looking for light, irreverent fare during the year-end break. As audiences and critics catch up with the film on VOD, its blend of bawdy jokes, social satire, and country-house chaos is likely to shape its longer-term reputation among fans of British comic cinema.
Why Watch Fackham Hall?
For viewers who enjoy British period pieces but prefer their corsets and country estates served with a heavy dose of irreverent humor, Fackham Hall offers a knowingly silly, character-driven spin on the upstairs–downstairs template. The film leans into class clashes, romantic entanglements, and farcical misunderstandings, making it well-suited to group viewing and cozy, end-of-year watch parties once it hits digital platforms.
Fans of the ensemble—ranging from Thomasin McKenzie and Damian Lewis to Tom Felton and Katherine Waterston—as well as admirers of Jimmy Carr’s comedic sensibility, will find plenty of sharp one-liners and absurd set-pieces within the film’s manor-house mayhem. As it moves from theaters into the home-viewing ecosystem via its December 26 VOD release, Fackham Hall is poised to become a go-to comfort watch for audiences seeking a cheeky sendup of old-money chaos wrapped in lush period trappings.
