Director Osgood Perkins, known for his recent success in horror cinema, is set to lead a new project titled The Young People, in partnership with distributor Neon. Two cast members have already been confirmed: Nico Parker and Lola Tung, marking an exciting development for fans of Perkins’ work.
Actors Nico Parker and Lola Tung Join the Cast
Nico Parker, recognizable from her role as Astrid in the live-action adaptation of How To Train Your Dragon and as Sarah, Joel’s daughter, in The Last of Us, will be one of the leads. Lola Tung, who stars in Prime Video’s teen romance series The Summer I Turned Pretty, also joins the cast. While specific story details and the film’s genre remain undisclosed, Perkins’ reputation suggests The Young People could continue his trend of dark, suspenseful storytelling.
Production Timeline and Upcoming Projects
Filming for The Young People is expected to begin later this year in Vancouver, though no official release date has been announced. Before this project, Perkins is releasing Keeper, which features Tatiana Maslany and explores a couple’s unsettling retreat to an isolated cabin. Keeper will premiere in cinemas on November 14, and further news on The Young People will be provided as it becomes available.
