Actors Tessa Thompson, Owen Cooper and Ebon Moss-Bachrach are set to star in upcoming psychological thriller "Foxfinder", directed by Aoife McArdle of "Severance" fame. McArdle is co-writing the screenplay with Dawn King, on whose award-winning 2011 play the film is based.

The play won the Papatango New Writing Prize that year, reported Variety. The film is described as an exploration of the absurdity of state control and societal conformity. It follows a grieving couple whose lives unravel when a coldly devout government agent -- a "foxfinder" -- arrives at their struggling farm to root out the designated enemy, the fox. As paranoia deepens and absurd regulations tighten, suspicion replaces love and truth itself begins to warp. Production is set to begin in Bavaria, Germany, in summer 2026.
