US studio A24 has unveiled the first trailer for Rungano Nyoni’s “On Becoming A Guinea Fowl,” with a new theatrical release date set for March 7, 2025.

The haunting family drama, which earned Nyoni the Best Director prize at Cannes 2024, arrives with momentum, following Picturehouse Entertainment’s acquisition of UK-Ireland distribution rights.
Initially slated for a December release (December 6 in UK-Ireland, December 13 for a limited US run), the spring release positions the film for wider theatrical impact.
