With their chaotic AI ringmaster gone and the circus dark, a small group of characters trapped in a digital realm is left alone with their own memories, regrets, and the mistakes they brought in with them. As the prospect of eternity closes in, they begin uncovering the truth about where they actually are, in a story about identity, trauma, digital existence, and the choice between forgetting and knowing.
The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act is a 2026 Australian animated theatrical event directed by Gooseworx (Kevin Temmer), the creator of the viral YouTube series. The film is a feature-length theatrical version of the final two episodes (Episode 8 and a new hour-long Episode 9) of The Amazing Digital Circus, the Glitch Productions series that became one of the most-watched independent animated shows on YouTube.
The voice cast includes Lizzie Freeman as Pomni, Michael Kovach as Jax, Amanda Hufford as Ragatha, Sean Chiplock as Caine, Marissa Lenti as Gangle, Ashley Nichols as Zooble, and Alex Rochon as Kinger. Producers include Tom Dolan, Kevin Lerdwichagul, Luke Lerdwichagul, and Jasmine Yang for Glitch Productions.
Set inside an unstable, surreal digital realm, the film explores themes of digital identity, trauma, memory, eternity, free will, and the psychology of being trapped. Distributed theatrically by Fathom Entertainment in North America and Piece of Magic Entertainment internationally, the film plays in select cinemas worldwide from June 4–18, 2026, before its standalone Episode 9 release on YouTube and Netflix on June 19, 2026. It is suited to fans of the series, indie animation, and surreal psychological storytelling.

Fun Facts
It exploded from 900 theaters to over 2,100 and shattered indie presale records. What began as a targeted 900-screen Fathom event more than doubled its theatrical footprint after demand surged, crossing over 2,100 North American theaters. The limited engagement cleared $7.5 million in domestic pre-sales before a single projector rolled — unprecedented for an independently produced web-series finale.
It's literally just the final two episodes stitched together. The "movie" is actually a feature-length compilation of Episode 8 and the brand-new, hour-long Episode 9 — the series finale. Creator Gooseworx has confirmed there will be no Season 2, making this theatrical event the definitive end of the story. The cast reportedly cried while reading the Episode 9 script.
Glitch Productions went to war with distributors over leaks and windows. CEO Kevin Lerdwichagul revealed that when one distributor asked him to email over the raw video file for local ratings agencies, Glitch flatly refused, fearing leaks. They also walked away from entire countries rather than accept censorship cuts or month-long theatrical exclusivity windows. They negotiated the gap between theatrical and YouTube/Netflix release down from two months to just two weeks.
It opens head-to-head against Toy Story 5. The film's theatrical window runs June 4–18, 2026 — meaning it shares its opening day with Disney/Pixar's Toy Story 5. It's the second Amazing Digital Circus installment to premiere opposite a Pixar release, following the pattern of a previous episode that debuted the same day as Elio.
