FREAK SHOW

COMES TO BLU-RAY™ AND DVD
FROM SHOUT! FACTORY AND IFC FILMS
ON JUNE 5, 2018

 

Los Angeles, CA – Shout! Factory has announced the new coming-of-age drama Freak Show is coming to shelves on Blu-ray™ and DVD on June 5, 2018, in conjunction with IFC Films. The directorial debut of actress and producer Trudie Styler, Freak Show is now available for pre-order now on Amazon.com and Shoutfactory.com.

Featuring an all-star cast that includes Alex Lawther (The Imitation Game, The End of the F***ing World), Bette Midler (Ruthless People), Larry Pine (The Royal Tenenbaums), Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine), Laverne Cox (Orange Is the New Black) and AnnaSophia Robb (Bridge to Terabithia), this proudly offbeat comedy is an irresistible ode to outsiders and nonconformists of all stripes.

Billy Bloom (Lawther) is one-of-a-kind: a fabulous, glitter-bedecked, gender-bending teenager whose razor-sharp wit is matched only by his outrageous, anything-goes fashion sense. When his glamorous mother (Midler) is forced to send him to live with his straight-laced father (Pine), Billy finds himself a diva-out-of-water at his new ultra-conservative high school. Undaunted by the bullies who don’t understand him, the fearless Billy sets out to make a big statement in his own inimitable way: challenging the school’s reigning mean girl (Breslin) for the title of homecoming queen.
