The cast of an upcoming A24 horror film directed by Arkasha Stevenson has expanded, with Katelyn Rose Downey, Fabien Frankel, Suzanna Son and Emory Cohen joining the project. The development was first reported by Deadline, which noted that the film continues Stevenson’s collaboration with A24 following The First Omen.
The project, which remains untitled, is being developed by Stevenson and Tim Smith. While specific plot details have not been officially disclosed, it has been reported that the story centres around a bachelor party that descends into chaos and terror.
New and existing cast members
The newly announced actors join a previously reported ensemble that includes Josh Hutcherson, Caleb Landry Jones, Whitmer Thomas, Emma Corrin, Havana Rose Liu, Hunter Schafer and Sophie Wilde. It has also been confirmed that Frank Dillane, who was earlier attached to the film, is no longer part of the cast.
Production and creative team
The film is being produced under the Square Peg banner by Lars Knudsen and Emily Hildner, with Ari Aster attached as executive producer. Additional production credits are held by Tim Smith, Harrison Huffman and Christine D’Souza.
This collaboration marks a continued association between Stevenson and A24 after The First Omen (2024), which served as a prequel to the classic horror franchise and featured performances by Nell Tiger Free, Tawfeek Barhom and Bill Nighy.
What to expect?
While the logline has been kept under wraps, the reported premise suggests a contained horror narrative that unfolds over the course of a bachelor party. The film is expected to align with A24’s recent slate of character-driven horror stories that rely on atmosphere and psychological tension.
Further details, including the film’s title and release timeline, are yet to be officially announced.
