Danny Boyle’s screen adaptation of James Graham’s play Ink will come to Netflix on January 8, 2027, following an American cinema release on December 11.

Set in 1969 London, Ink is the story of the rise of Rupert Murdoch, who purchases a struggling paper, The Sun, and sets out to make it a must-read smash which will destroy — and ultimately horrify — the competition. He brings on rogue editor Larry Lamb who in turn recruits an unlikely team of underdog reporters. Together, they will go to any lengths for success.

Ink stars Guy Pearce as Rupert Murdoch, Jack O’Connell as Larry Lamb, and Claire Foy as Joyce Hopkirk. Also in the cast is Bertie Carvel, who won a Tony Award for his performance as Murdoch, who now plays Hugh Cudlipp.

Ink premiered at the Almeida Theatre before transferring to London’s West End. Graham adapted his play for the screen.
