Grow (2025): Pumpkins, Sabotage, and an Unexpected Family Bond 🍂🎃

Welcome to the Pumpkin Capital of the World, where things are about to get bigger, bolder, and much more orange. Grow, the upcoming Sky Original comedy, blends heartwarming family drama with a dash of madcap chaos, centering on giant pumpkins, fierce competition, and a blossoming bond between an unlikely pair.

Directed by John McPhail (Anna and the Apocalypse), and starring Golda Rosheuvel (Bridgerton) and Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead), this delightful tale premieres August 16, 2025 in the UK, followed by a Sky Cinema release on October 10, 2025.

The Story: Seeds of Change 🌱

At the heart of Grow is Dinah Little (Golda Rosheuvel) — a no-nonsense, grumpy farmer with a secretly soft heart. When she discovers she has a niece, Charlie (played by newcomer Dominic MacLaughlin), abandoned in an orphanage, Dinah reluctantly takes her in.

Life in Dinah’s small town revolves around one thing: the annual giant pumpkin-growing contest. It’s not just a fun fair event — it’s the town’s Super Bowl, complete with rivalries, sabotage, and high-stakes bragging rights.

Charlie, armed with an uncanny gift for plants and a stubborn streak, decides to grow her own pumpkin — affectionately named Peter — to compete. But with shady competitors, genetically engineered super-pumpkins, and even sabotage lurking in the fields, victory won’t come easy. As Peter grows, so too does the bond between Charlie and Dinah, proving that sometimes family is something you grow yourself.

"You can’t rush a pumpkin, love. It’ll grow when it’s ready… same as people." — Dinah Little

A Cast as Colorful as the Pumpkins 🎭

Grow brings together a vibrant ensemble:

• Golda Rosheuvel as Dinah Little, the curmudgeonly yet caring farmer.

• Nick Frost as one of the town’s eccentric growers.

• Jane Horrocks (Absolutely Fabulous) and Jeremy Swift (Ted Lasso) as local competitors with questionable ethics.

• Tim McInnerny, Joe Wilkinson, and Dominic MacLaughlin rounding out the comedic lineup.

This colorful cast delivers a mix of quirky humor and heartfelt moments, keeping the story both hilarious and touching.

From Seed to Screen 🌾

Shot on location in Edinburgh, UK, the film captures the rustic beauty of autumn harvest season with sweeping pumpkin patch vistas, lively town fairs, and the eccentric details of rural life.

With a script penned by Nick Guthe, Christos N. Gage, and Ruth Fletcher Gage, Grow blends comedy, family dynamics, and a sprinkle of underdog sports-movie energy — except here, the sport is pumpkin-growing warfare.
