According to our sources, Focus Features is expected to release their comedy THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND on VOD and Digital platforms early next month, arriving on May 6th, 2025. The film world premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival before launching in US theaters on March 28th, 2025.

The Ballad of Wallis Island is directed by James Griffiths, and stars Tim Key, Tom Basden, and Carey Mulligan. Basden and Key co-wrote the film's screenplay, which is based on the 2007 short film The One and Only Herb McGwyer Plays Wallis Island, also directed by Griffiths and co-written by Basden and Key.
In the film, eccentric lottery winner Charles lives alone on a remote island but dreams of hiring his favourite musician, Herb McGwyer, to play an exclusive, private gig. Unbeknownst to Herb, Charles has also hired Herb’s ex-bandmate and ex-girlfriend, Nell, with her new husband in tow, to perform the old favourites. As tempers flare and old tensions resurface, the stormy weather traps them all on the island and Charles desperately looks for a way to salvage his dream gig.
