‘Seasons’: Jack Reynor Joins Amazon Horror Film

After starring in Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, Jack Reynor has found his next horror vehicle in Seasons, Drew Hancock’s film for Amazon MGM Studios, where he’ll star opposite Lily James, Deadline can confirm.

Fka My Wife and I Bought a Ranch, Seasons is based on a viral horror short story by Matt & Harrison Query, which first appeared on Reddit and was later adapted into a full-length novel. It’s the story of a husband and wife who buy their dream ranch, only to discover the land is alive with ancient spirits. For the couple, survival will mean submitting to increasingly disturbing rituals with each turn of the season.

Hancock directs from his own script, with 21 Laps’ Shawn Levy and Dan Levine producing alongside Blumhouse Atomic Monster’s James Wan and Michael Clear, 12:01 Films’ Scott Glassgold, and Dan Cohen. Judson Scott is exec producing for Blumhouse Atomic Monster, with Alayna Glasthal overseeing for the company.

An American-born Irish actor known for films like Sing Street and Ari Aster’s horror flick Midsommar, Reynor has also recently been seen starring alongside Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas in Power Ballad, John Carney’s musical comedy for Lionsgate. Next up, he’ll be seen starring in the second season of Apple’s hit legal thriller Presumed Innocent, opposite Rachel Brosnahan. Also on the way is a remake of yakuza film A Colt Is My Passport from Amazon MGM’s Orion Pictures, which has wrapped production.

THR was first to Reynor’s casting in Seasons.
