Event information
The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act is a feature-length theatrical finale to the animated web series produced by Australian studio Glitch Productions and directed by series creator Gooseworx. The show debuted in October 2023 and became the most-viewed animation pilot on YouTube, amassing hundreds of millions of views within months, subsequently expanding into a Netflix series and a global merchandising presence. The series follows Pomni, a woman who becomes trapped inside a virtual circus alongside five other humans, where they are subject to the whims of an AI ringmaster named Caine while contending with their own psychological deterioration.
The theatrical release combines Episode 8 with an all-new, hour-long Episode 9, presenting the conclusion to the series before its wider online release. With Caine absent and the circus in darkness, the remaining cast are forced to confront their pasts as they uncover the truth behind the Digital Circus and its history. The film runs 1 hour and 35 minutes and carries a 16+ age restriction.
The South African release screens at selected Ster-Kinekor, Nu Metro, Cine Centre, Movies @, The Bioscope, The Labia, and Road House Cinema locations nationwide, distributed locally by Gravel Road Distribution Group. Episode 9 will subsequently be available on YouTube and Netflix from 19 June 2026, making the theatrical run the only opportunity to see the finale ahead of its online premiere.
