“The State of Us,” the British coming-age-comedy starring Samuel Bottomley (“California Schemin’,” “How To Have Sex”) and Callum Scott Howells (“Madfabulous,” “It’s a Sin”), is set to land in U.K. cinemas following a deal with Vertigo Releasing.

The film, the directorial debut of Jake Harvey and Ollie Gardner, had its world premiere in the main competition at the Edinburgh International Film Festival earlier this year and will now release theatrically in the U.K. in 2027. News of Vertigo’s acquisition comes ahead of Monday’s screening of “The State of Us” at the Rome Film Festival.
