In 18th-century England, amid a massive pox outbreak and the unrest of the Jacobite uprising, a married couple of aristocrats with the singularly fitting surname Savage pursue a better life through duels, decadence, and bloodshed. As polite society reveals itself to be anything but, the film unfolds as a darkly satirical chronicle of class, power, hypocrisy, and the violent self-interest at the heart of nobility.

Savage House is a 2026 American historical dark comedy written and directed by Peter Glanz (The Longest Week). The film follows Sir Chauncey Savage (Richard E. Grant) and Lady Savage (Claire Foy), an 18th-century English aristocratic couple whose blind pursuit of advancement collides with the chaos of a smallpox outbreak and the Jacobite uprising. The supporting cast includes Sebastian Armesto, Roger Ashton-Griffiths, Kíla Lord Cassidy, Michael Culkin, Jack Farthing, Bel Powley, Richard McCabe, Vicki Pepperdine, Pip Torrens, Tony Way, Nicholas Woodeson, and Miles Jupp. Cinematography is by Adriano Goldman, with production design by Gary Williamson and costume design by Alex Bovaird. Set in 18th-century England, the film operates as a darkly satirical play on class and power, exploring themes of aristocratic decadence, hypocrisy, social climbing, marriage, and the violence behind respectability. Produced by Record Player Films with Oliver Roskill and Mark Hopkins as producers, and distributed by Republic Pictures, it was released in select US theatres on June 5, 2026. It is suited to fans of period dark comedies in the vein of Death of Stalin, The Favourite, and Catherine Called Birdy.

Fun Facts

It was inspired by the January 6, 2021 U.S. Capitol attack. Director Peter Glanz said the film's satirical edge was directly sparked by modern political polarization. He noted that 1715 England — the film's setting — had its own "deadly epidemic, a disputed king, extreme inequity... and a polarized society taking to the streets in protest and riots," which he felt was the perfect historical mirror for a cautionary tale about greed and social climbing.
