The darkly comic period drama Savage House, written and directed by Peter Glanz, will be available to buy or rent on Digital beginning June 26, 2026. Led by an acclaimed ensemble cast, the film blends sharp satire, escalating chaos, and 18th‑century decadence into a stylish and wickedly entertaining tale of ambition and appearances.
Set in 18th‑century England, Savage House follows Sir Chauncey Savage (Richard E. Grant), an unapologetically unscrupulous social climber whose reputation is held together by debt, charm, and bravado. When Chauncey and his razor‑sharp wife Lady Savage (Claire Foy) are invited to host the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, they seize the opportunity to elevate their standing—no matter the cost.
As preparations spiral into duels, deception, and bloodshed, the couple’s carefully curated performance unravels in spectacular fashion. What begins as a bid for social prestige becomes a darkly comic satire of class, spectacle, and the desperate art of appearing important.
The film features a standout cast including Richard E. Grant, Claire Foy, Jack Farthing, Bel Powley, Kíla Lord Cassidy, Vicki Pepperdine, Richard McCabe, and Pip Torrens.
