Medieval comedy ‘Seize Them!’ reveals trailer and release date
We’ve got the first trailer for Seize Them!
Described as “a comedy road movie set in the dark ages,” the new British film features a stellar line-up of British comedy stars.
The cast includes Nicola Coughlan from Bridgerton and Derry Girls, Jessica Hynes from Up the Women, and Ghosts star Lolly Adefope.
They’re also joined by Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead), Paul Kaye (After Life), Nitin Ganatra (EastEnders), and comedian James Acaster…
Not to mention the wonderful Aimee Lou Wood (Living), who leads the cast of Seize Them! as the egotistical Queen Dagan.
Watch the official trailer here:
Made by the production team behind the Absolutely Fabulous movie and Lily James’s rom-com Yesterday, Seize Them! started filming in the UK across Kent and Wales in early 2022.
“The egotistical and clueless Queen Dagan is toppled from her throne,” the synopsis reveals. “She’ll need help to survive as a fugitive and win back her kingdom.
“With her new friends, a castle worker and a shit shoveler, she begins her quest for justice.”
We’re told that the movie is “brimming with warmth, humour and swordfights,” and the trailer looks like it’s pitched somewhere between Catherine Called Birdy and a ruder Horrible Histories, so this could be rather fun if you’re in the mood for a bit of bonkers silliness.
When’s the release date?
It’s now been confirmed that Seize Them! will arrive in cinemas in the UK and Ireland on Friday 5 April 2024.
A date in the US hasn’t yet been announced yet, but hopefully the film should get a release stateside later this year.
Nicola Coughlan will also be back on our TV screens soon as Penelope Featherington in the long-awaited third season of Bridgerton!
Netflix’s hit romantic drama returns with brand new episodes this spring.
