Announced last month, James Wan is executive producing a supernatural horror series titled “Archive 81” for Netflix, inspired by the found footage podcast of the same name.
“Archive 81” will star Jurassic World: Dominion and Underwater‘s Mamoudou Athie with “Altered Carbon” alumna Dina Shihabi, and Deadline brings us more casting news today.
Martin Donovan (Big Little Lies), Matt McGorry (How To Get Away With Murder), Julia Chan (Katy Keene), Evan Jonigkeit, and Ariana Neal (Hidden Figures) will also star.
In the series, “When archivist Dan Turner (Athie) takes a mysterious job restoring a collection of damaged videotapes from 1994, he finds himself reconstructing the work of documentary filmmaker Melody Pendras (Shihabi) and her investigation into a dangerous cult. As Dan is drawn into Melody’s story, he becomes convinced he can save her from the terrifying end she met 25 years ago.”
Marc Sollinger and Daniel Powell created the podcast and will co-produce the series. “Stranger Things” director Rebecca Thomas is on board to direct half the debut season.
Rebecca Sonnenshine (The Boys, The Vampire Diaries) is the showrunner.
