Fackham Hall is an upcoming British period comedy film directed by Jim O'Hanlon. It stars Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Thomasin McKenzie, Katherine Waterston, and Emma Laird.[1] It is written by comedian Jimmy Carr in his screenwriting feature debut with Patrick Carr and The Dawson Brothers.
A new porter (Fiennes Tiffin) who embarks on an unlikely relationship with the youngest daughter (McKenzie) of a prominent UK family. At the same time, rivalries are spilling over in the Davenport family, led by Lord and Lady Davenport (Waterston) as they also weather the epic failure of the wedding of their eldest daughter (Laird) to her caddish cousin.
Fackham Hall is a parody of traditional period dramas like Downton Abbey and Gosford Park.[2]
Additional casting is underway and principal photography will begin in the UK in early 2024.[1]
