The film world premiered in the Sundance Film Festival’s NEXT section in 2026, where it won the NEXT Innovator Award. It launched in US theaters on September 25th, 2026.

The Incomer is written and directed by Louis Paxton and stars Domhnall Gleeson, Gayle Rankin, Grant O’Rourke, Emun Elliott, Michelle Gomez, and John Hannah.
The film is a modern folk fairy tale set on a remote Scottish island, where two siblings survive by hunting seabirds, retelling the stories of their ancestors, and defending the isle from dreaded ‘Incomers’. Their world is upended with the arrival of an awkward council worker who has come to uproot them from their homeland on behalf of the government.
