The Sony Pictures Classics comedy-drama I SWEAR is set to make its SVOD debut later this month, arriving on Netflix on August 22nd, 2026. The film world premiered at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, before launching in US theaters on April 24th, 2026. It hit PVOD on June 2nd, 2026.
I Swear is directed, written, and produced by Kirk Jones, and stars Robert Aramayo, Ellis Watson, Maxine Peake, Shirley Henderson, and Peter Mullan.
The film is based on the life story of Tourette’s Syndrome campaigner John Davidson, MBE. Set within 1980s Britain, the story follows him throughout his troubled teens and early adulthood, and explores this little known and entirely misunderstood condition, along with his attempts to live a ‘normal’ life against the odds.
I Swear received five nominations at the 79th British Academy Film Awards, winning two, including Best Actor in a Leading Role for Aramayo, and Best Casting for Lauren Evans.
