Sky announces Christmas comedy Tinsel Town with Kiefer Sutherland and Rebel Wilson

Coming Christmas 2025 to Sky Cinema, Tinsel Town is set to be the festive comedy you’ll want to watch every year! Here’s everything we know so far…

Festive February has just gotten even more festive as Sky unveils a brand new comedy movie, which is set to have us all belly laughing this Christmas.

Filming at locations across the North of England and at Leeds’ Versa Studios, the new movie will see actor Kiefer Sutherland and actress, writer and producer Rebel Wilson heading on an unforgettable, heartwarming journey of second chances, surprising friendships, and festive magic in this hilarious Christmas comedy.

What Will Sky Original – Tinsel Town be about?

Hollywood action star Bradley Mack (Kiefer Sutherland) is on top of the world—until his iconic franchise is axed. With his career spiralling, he heads to England to reinvent himself on the West End… or so he thinks. Instead, his agent dumps him in a quirky, snow-covered village to star in the town’s chaotic Cinderella production. As he stumbles through rehearsals with an oddball cast, he clashes—and connects—with no-nonsense choreographer Jill (Rebel Wilson). What begins as a career catastrophe just might turn into the fresh start he never saw coming.

Julia Stuart, Director of Original Film at Sky, said: “We are so proud of this uplifting and charming comedy, and we can’t wait for it to come to Sky Cinema this Christmas. It’s feel-good, festive and funny, and we hope will have something for everyone to enjoy.”

Sutherland said: “I’m thrilled to be working back in the UK and with director Chris Foggin. The cast is fantastic, and I can’t wait to tell this story.”

Wilson added: “I love British Christmas movies – because in Australia we’re just on the beach having a BBQ – and so now I feel like I get to have a classic British Christmas – freezing my t**s off but laughing and sledding all the way!”

Who Will Star in Sky’s Tinsel Town?

Comedian Katherine Ryan (The Duchess) will take on the role of Mack’s long suffering agent with the local villagers played by the legendary British actor Derek Jacobi (Gladiator II), Mawaan Rizwan (Juice), Maria Friedman (Unforgotten), Jason Manford (Waterloo Road), Asim Chaudhry (People Just do Nothing) Danny Dyer (Rivals), Ray Fearon (Barbie), Alice Eve (Star Trek In To Darkness), Lucien Laviscount (Emily in Paris) and James Lance (Ted Lasso) with Meera Syal (The Wheel of Time), taking on the role of the productions’ director.
