Production

In November 2024, an adaptation of Fing by David Walliams was in development, produced by King Bert Productions and Story Bridge Films, with Jeffrey Walker directing, a screenplay by Walliams and Kevin Cecil, and Taika Waititi in talks to star.[3] In March 2025, Taika Waititi, Walliams, newcomer Iona Bell, Mia Wasikowska, Penelope Wilton, Richard Roxburgh, Blake Harrison, and Robyn Nevin joined the cast,[4] as principal photography began at Screen Queensland Studios in Brisbane.[2]

Release

Fing! premiered in the Family Matinee section of the 2026 Sundance Film Festival on January 24, 2026.[5] In May 2026, Angel Studios acquired the rights for distribution in the United States, setting it for release in 2027.[6] The film is scheduled to be released in Australia on January 14, 2027.[7] Originally acquired by Sky Cinema for the United Kingdom and Ireland with plans to release it in early 2027, the company dropped the film in November 2026 following sexual harassment allegations against its writer David Walliams. Angel Studios announced that in light of the allegations, Walliams' appearance in the film would be removed, as would his credits in the film's promotion and marketing.[8] On 11 November 2026, Stan, the streaming service which co-commissioned the film, removed the title entirely from its content slate.[9]
