Starring Golda Rosheuvel and Nick Frost
The family film Grow, starring Golda Rosheuvel (Bridgerton) and Nick Frost (Hot Fuzz), is currently being showcased at the 2024 American Film Market (AFM) in Las Vegas. It is set for a 2025 release and is produced by Double Nickel Entertainment, in association with Sky and Orogen Entertainment. SC Films International handles global sales rights.
Directed by John McPhail (Anna and the Apocalypse), Grow centers on Dinah Little, a grumpy farmer played by Rosheuvel, who reluctantly takes in her niece Charlie (Priya-Rose Brookwell) from an orphanage. The story unfolds in the “Pumpkin Capital of the World,” where the highlight of the year is a high-stakes pumpkin-growing contest with a huge cash prize. With a special affinity for plants, Charlie enters the contest but faces sabotage and a genetically engineered rival. As Charlie nurtures her pumpkin, a bond grows between her and Dinah.
In addition to Rosheuvel and Brookwell, the cast includes Nick Frost, Tim McInnerny, Jane Horrocks, and comedian Alan Carr. The film’s production team includes Adam Richman, Jenette Kahn, and Joe Capotorto of Double Nickel Entertainment. Nick Guthe, Christos N. Gage, and Ruth Fletcher Gage wrote the screenplay.
Supporting cast includes Joe Wilkinson (After Life), Kathryn Drysdale (Bridgerton), Fisayo Akinade (Heartstopper), and Sharon Rooney (Barbie).
Grow is produced with Sky and commissioned by Andrew Orr, Head of Original Film at Sky UK. The film will be released globally in theaters and on Sky Cinema in the UK and Ireland in 2025. SC Films CEO Simon Crowe expressed excitement about the project, calling it a “funny and uplifting film for all the family.”
Executive producers from Sky, Orogen Entertainment, SC Films International, and Screen Scotland, among others, are supporting the film.
