Benedict Cumberbatch’s The Roses Locks In Digital, Blu-ray, and DVD Release Dates — Here’s When You Can Watch It at Home
Searchlight Pictures has set digital, Blu-ray, and DVD release dates for The Roses, a black comedy led by award-winning Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman and a reimagining of Danny DeVito’s 1989 The War of the Roses.
Searchlight just put dates on The Roses coming home, so if you missed Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman going for the jugular in theaters, you will not have to wait long. This is a new spin on Danny DeVito's 1989 The War of the Roses, and the talent lineup is kind of ridiculous in the best way.
What this one is about
On the surface, Ivy (Colman) and Theo (Cumberbatch) are the postcard version of a life well lived: thriving careers, solid marriage, happy kids. Then the balance flips. Theo's career tanks just as Ivy's skyrockets, and what was once supportive turns competitive. Resentments that were quietly simmering start to boil, and the house becomes the battlefield for a very dark, very funny domestic war.
When you can watch at home
The Roses hits digital to rent or own on October 21, 2025. The Blu-ray and DVD follow on November 25, 2025.
Who made it (and who is in it)
Jay Roach directs from a script by Tony McNamara, adapting Warren Adler's 1981 novel The War of the Roses. Beyond Colman and Cumberbatch, the ensemble includes Andy Samberg, Kate McKinnon, Allison Janney, Ncuti Gatwa, Zoë Chao, Sunita Mani, Hala Finley, Wells Rappaport, Akie Kotabe, and more. Cumberbatch and Colman also serve as executive producers alongside Jonathan R. Adler, Michael Adler, Cáit Collins, and Katherine Pomfret.
How it's playing so far
Since its theatrical run began, it has been sitting at a 79% audience Popcornmeter on Rotten Tomatoes.
Bonus features on the home release
- Gag reel
- A House To Fight For - A deep dive into the design and construction of the Roses' home, with the production designer and filmmakers walking through how they built a gorgeous place that could believably host all-out warfare. The cast apparently wanted to take half of it home.
- The Roses: An Inside Look - Cast and crew break down making the film, the Colman/Cumberbatch chemistry, and the grounded, satirical, British wryness the two of them can nail in their sleep.
- Comedy Gold - A showcase of the stacked comedy bench bringing McNamara's sharp dialogue to life under Roach's direction. The roster is so loaded that even Colman had to marvel at it.
