New trailer for The Thing with Feathers starring Benedict Cumberbatch

November 12, 2025 by Amie Cranswick

With its release just over two weeks away, Briarcliff Entertainment has released the final trailer for writer-director Dylan Southern’s psychological drama The Thing with Feathers.

Adapted from Max Porter’s 2015 novella Grief Is the Thing with Feathers, Benedict Cumberbatch stars as a man mourning the unexpected loss of his life while trying to raise is two young sons, when his grief takes the form of an unhinged and provoking houseguest.

Joining Cumberbatch in the cast are Benedict Cumberbatch, David Thewlis, Richard Boxall, Henry Boxall, Jessie Cave, Sam Spruell, Leo Bill, Vinette Robinson, Garry Cooper, and Tim Plester.

Left to raise two young sons after the unexpected death of his wife, Dad’s life begins to unravel. Grief is messy and chaotic enough as it is, but when it takes the form of an unhinged and unwanted house guest – Crow – taunting him from the shadows, things start to spiral out of control…but maybe that’s exactly what Dad needs.
