Universal City, California, November 24, 2025 – Hailed by critics and audiences alike, Focus Features’ BUGONIA arrives exclusively on digital platforms to buy or rent November 25, 2025, and on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD on December 23, 2025, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Five-time Oscar-nominee Yorgos Lanthimos masterfully directs his most compelling film yet with a satirical, thrilling edge, and out-of-this world plot twists. Hailed by critics as a “master provocateur,” (Slant Magazine), Lanthimos draws audiences into a paranoia and leaves them questioning what really happens behind the curtains of power. Suspense, social relevancy, and dark comedic chemistry between opposing characters Emma Stone (Poor Things, The Favourite) and Jesse Plemons (Killers of the Flower Moon, The Power of the Dog) fuel this genre-defying thriller, with every interaction hiding a secret and trust being the most dangerous currency.
A wildly entertaining psychological thriller, the film follows two conspiracy-obsessed young men who kidnap a powerful CEO they believe is an alien out to destroy humanity. What begins as a paranoid act spirals into a battle of delusions and control—one as viscerally unpredictable as it is provocative.
BUGONIA also features mesmerizing performances by Stavros Halkias (Let’s Start a Cult, “Tires”), Aidan Delbis, Marc T. Lewis, Vanessa Eng, and Alicia Silverstone (Clueless, Batman & Robin). The mind-bending thriller of the year is cleverly co-produced by three-time Oscar-nominated producer Ed Guiney (Room, The Favourite), Emma Stone, and Ari Aster (Midsommar, Hereditary). Written by Will Tracy (“Succession,” The Menu) and scored by Jerskin Fendrix (Poor Things, Kinds of Kindness) with a haunting soundtrack, the film questions the nature of truth itself, bridging social commentary and mainstream thriller.
