In case the voice cast’s appearance at Emerald City Comic Con 2026 wasn’t enough of a clue that animated series The Amazing Digital Circus is having a moment right now, this might convince you: the show’s finale is going to be screened in theaters across the United States and beyond this June.

Announced April 10, a partnership between Amazing Digital Circus studio Glitch Productions and Fathom Entertainment means that The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act will arrive in theaters June 4, running through June 7. The Last Act — a 93-minute presentation — will combine the already-released eighth episode of the series with the premiere of the hour-long ninth, bringing the series to its conclusion.

The official synopsis of The Last Act runs as follows: “The viral internet sensation “The Amazing Digital Circus” comes to its long-awaited conclusion in a feature-length theatrical release! This “Last Act” combines episode eight with the all new, hour-long episode nine for fans to see before anyone else in the world. With Caine gone and the circus dark, the cast are left with only the mistakes and traumas of their pasts to keep them company. As the prospect of eternity closes in around them, they discover the truth about the Digital Circus and its history.  Will they come to terms with what they uncover, or will they make… the other choice? Also, presumably at some point someone says something funny, because this ending can’t be THAT depressing, can it?”

In a statement, Kevin Lerdwichagul, CEO of Glitch Productions, said, “Glitch Productions is proving itself as the ultimate disruptor to the traditional animation industry with ‘The Amazing Digital Circus.’ Offering an alternative online distribution model that bypasses corporate oversight, maintains creative freedom and uplifts passionate, thought-provoking and visually-striking projects, we are thrilled to partner with Fathom and bring ‘The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act’ to fans the series finale on the big screen across the U.S. in theatres nationwide.”
