Deadline reports that Jack Reynor, the Irish-born actor known for *Sing Street* and Ari Aster’s *Midsommar*, has been cast opposite Lily James in *Seasons*, an upcoming horror feature for Amazon MGM Studios. The casting news follows Reynor’s recent appearances in *Power Ballad* and the second season of Apple’s *Presumed Innocent*.
Source Material and Production Background
*Seasons* adapts a viral horror short story originally posted on Reddit by Matt & Harrison Query, which was later expanded into a full-length novel. The narrative follows a husband and wife who purchase a dream ranch only to discover the land is inhabited by ancient spirits, forcing them into increasingly disturbing seasonal rituals. Director Drew Hancock, who also wrote the screenplay, positions the film as a follow-up to New Line’s *Companion* and the third collaboration between 21 Laps and Blumhouse Atomic Monster, the latter known for recent successes such as A24’s *Backrooms*.
