Just weeks before the release of his latest film, Osgood Perkins is preparing another collaboration with Tatiana Maslany in his upcoming movie, The Young People. This new project, directed by Perkins, is set to debut in theaters sometime in 2026, continuing the creative partnership between the acclaimed director and lead actress. The announcement highlights the reunion as a key element, linking it closely with the term “Osgood Perkins film reunion.”
Details on the Cast and Mysterious Premise
The cast for The Young People features a blend of talent including Heather Graham, Lexi Minetree, Lily Collias, Brendan Hines, Cush Jumbo, and Johnny Knoxville, alongside Lola Tung, who is expected to play a central role. At this stage, specifics about the plot remain tightly under wraps, but early promotional images show Tung beside a blood-filled bathtub, hinting at the dark tone typical of Perkins’ work. Additionally, Nico Parker from The Last of Us joins Tung, adding further depth to the ensemble.
Production Background and Partnerships
Perkins wrote and will direct The Young People, continuing his collaboration with Neon, the company producing and distributing the film. This marks another title in the ongoing partnership responsible for films such as Longlegs, The Monkey, and the soon-to-be-released Keeper. Alongside Perkins, producers Chris Ferguson from the Phobos banner and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones are also attached, maintaining continuity in the creative team behind these works.
Maslany’s Role in Keeper and Context
