Studiocanal has announced the UK home video release of outrageous British comedy Wicked Little Letters. The film will come to digital home premiere on April 8 2024 before releasing on disc in May.
A 1920s English seaside town bears witness to a dark and absurd scandal in this riotous mystery comedy. Based on a stranger than fiction true story, WICKED LITTLE LETTERS follows two neighbours: deeply conservative local Edith Swan (Olivia Colman) and rowdy Irish migrant Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley). When Edith and fellow residents begin to receive wicked letters full of unintentionally hilarious profanities, foul-mouthed Rose is charged with the crime. The anonymous letters prompt a national uproar, and a trial ensues. However, as the town’s women – led by Police Officer Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan) – begin to investigate the crime themselves, they suspect that something is amiss, and Rose may not be the culprit after all.

In our four-star review of the film Neil said “whilst Wicked Little Letters trailer brilliant sells is crude escapist fun, the film itself is a strikingly heartfelt and wonderfully acted story of sisterhood and family”.
Blueprint Pictures produced the film, directed by Thea Sharrock (Me Before You) and written by British comedian Jonny Sweet (Chickens). Producers are Olivia Colman, Graham Broadbent and Pete Czernin of Blueprint Pictures, Ed Sinclair of South of the River Pictures and Jo Wallett.
The Blu-ray and DVD releases of Wicked Little Letters will come packaged with three bonus featurettes titled “Frenemies”, “Trolling in the Twenties” and “True Story”.
