It was released in US cinemas on December 5, 2025, and UK and Ireland cinemas on December 12; later viewing options depend on your territory and the platform’s current listing.
What is Fackham Hall about?
Eric Noone, a pickpocket played by Ben Radcliffe, talks his way into a job at the grand English manor Fackham Hall. There he falls for Rose Davenport (Thomasin McKenzie), the rebellious daughter of Lord Davenport (Damian Lewis). The family is in financial trouble, and Rose is promised to another man, Archibald (Tom Felton), as a way to protect its fortunes. Mistaken identities, class and manners, forbidden love and an inconvenient corpse drive the comic chaos.
The official premise frames the film as a British comedy spoof of manor-house and period-drama conventions. Legion M’s comparisons to Downton Abbey, Airplane!, Monty Python and Knives Out are promotional shorthand, not a critical consensus.
Who made it, and who is in the cast?
Jim O’Hanlon directed Fackham Hall. Its credited screenwriters are Jimmy Carr, Patrick Carr, Andrew Dawson, Steve Dawson and Tim Inman. The British Council lists it as an Elysian Film Group, Mews Films and Two & Two Pictures production in association with Vacancy Films, produced by Danny Perkins, Kris Thykier and Mila Cottray.

Where can you watch Fackham Hall?
Release dates and listings differ by territory. Elysian Film Group lists UK and Ireland cinema release from December 12, 2025. Legion M lists US theatrical release from December 5, 2025, and on-demand availability from December 26, naming Amazon, Apple TV and HBO Max as options. These dates and platform references do not establish what is available in every country now, or whether a particular listing is included with a subscription, rented or purchased.
For US viewers, Hulu’s page says HBO content is available through Hulu, subject to additional terms, and notes that programming can change. Apple TV also has a US film page. Check the service in your own region for a live listing and its payment terms. The UK BBFC has a home-entertainment classification covering physical media and VOD/streaming, but that classification alone does not confirm that a DVD or Blu-ray edition is currently for sale.

How long is Fackham Hall?
The most consistent viewing estimate is about 97 minutes: the BBFC lists 96 minutes 59 seconds for the cinema version and 96 minutes 50 seconds for home entertainment, while Apple TV rounds the runtime to 1 hour 37 minutes. The British Council UK Films Database instead records 107 minutes, a discrepancy that is not reconciled in those listings.
What is its age rating, and what content should viewers know about?
In the UK, the BBFC lists “strong language, sex references” for both cinema and home entertainment. Its detailed advice also mentions violence, threat, sexual material, drug and suicide references, injury detail, rude humour, alcohol and smoking; the BBFC warns that the fuller advice may contain spoilers. Consult its entry if you need specific content guidance.

Apple TV’s US listing labels the film R, citing sexual content, language and violence. A US R rating is not equivalent to a UK age category; ratings and classification systems are territory-specific.
