The Russo Brothers, through their production company AGBO, are developing a new ghost-themed series titled Prism for Netflix, with Millie Bobby Brown cast as the lead. Rachel Brosnahan is set to serve as an executive producer, while Etan Frankel, known for his work on Shameless, will act as showrunner and writer. This collaboration marks another high-profile Netflix project for Brown, who has become a familiar face on the platform.
In Prism, Brown will portray Cassie, a character who possesses the rare gift of communicating with ghosts. Her role involves investigating a mysterious global phenomenon that causes apparitions, known as ‘visitors,’ to suddenly appear worldwide. The urgency of unraveling this event’s origins drives the series’ narrative, as it threatens serious consequences if left unchecked.
Previous and Current Projects of the Russo Brothers and Cast
The Russo Brothers have established themselves as major players in both film and television. After producing a series of shows within the Citadel spy franchise on Prime Video, the brothers are shifting focus, with those spin-offs nearing completion. Meanwhile, Marvel Studios has enlisted them to direct upcoming projects in the Avengers franchise, including the recently finished Doomsday in London and the forthcoming Avengers: Secret Wars.
Millie Bobby Brown and the Russos have a working relationship that extends beyond Prism. They previously collaborated on The Electric State, a sci-fi adventure film distributed by Netflix. Brown’s ongoing association with Netflix continues as she prepares to star in the final season of Stranger Things, scheduled for release on November 26.
Rachel Brosnahan, known for her role as Lois Lane in the blockbuster Superman, remains busy with multiple projects. She is leading the second season of Apple TV’s legal drama Presumed Innocent and will soon begin work on James Gunn’s Man of Tomorrow, which is expected to enter production next year.
