IFC Films is closing the year with one of its most anticipated fantasy romance releases. 100 Nights of Hero, arriving on December 5, 2025, brings together an incredible cast led by Emma Corrin, Nicholas Galitzine and Maika Monroe, alongside Charli XCX, Richard E. Grant and Felicity Jones.
The film is adapted from the acclaimed graphic novel and is directed by Julia Jackman. Set in a magical, folklore-rich world, the story follows Cherry, played by Emma Corrin, whose husband leaves home after secretly placing a wager on her fidelity. In his absence, Cherry and her fiercely intelligent maid Hero find themselves forced to fend off the advances of Manfred, a dangerously charming visitor determined to test Cherry’s loyalty.
What begins as a temptation tale turns into a battle of wit and storytelling. Hero becomes the heart of the narrative, using her imagination, intelligence and patience to outsmart Manfred, night after night. Through layered stories within stories, the film promises themes of agency, power and companionship wrapped inside a lush, fantastical setting.
With Nicholas Galitzine bringing intensity to Manfred and Maika Monroe anchoring the emotional core as Hero, the cast lineup hints at a film designed to charm and provoke in equal measure. Add Charli XCX, Felicity Jones and Richard E. Grant to the mix, and 100 Nights of Hero suddenly becomes one of IFC’s most exciting ensemble projects in recent years.
Audiences can expect romance, fantasy, mischief, emotional stakes and a world that blends myth with modern sensibilities. The tone, visuals and cast chemistry are already generating strong curiosity, and its feminist undertones make it one of the more refreshing titles releasing this winter.
100 Nights of Hero releases on December 5, 2025, and will be available until March 6, 2026.
