Star-studded pairing: Reynor meets Lily James
Fresh casting buzz says Jack Reynor will join Lily James as the other half of the doomed couple in Drew Hancock’s new movie, Seasons. Hancock not only directs but also penned the script, which traces its roots to a short story that originally circulated on Reddit by Matt and Harrison Query.
What the movie actually is
Think “dream ranch” meets supernatural bureaucracy: a married pair buys the property they’ve always wanted, only to learn it’s inhabited by ancestral spirits. Surviving the place means submitting to a set of seasonal rituals that get progressively more unsettling — picture escalating town traditions that slowly tip into full-on creepiness.
Who’s got the film in their corner
Amazon MGM Studios will handle global distribution, and the project is being produced by a high-profile lineup including 12:01 Films alongside 21 Laps, Blumhouse and Atomic Monster. It’s another team-up for the folks behind Blackrooms, with established producers such as Shawn Levy, Dan Levine, Dan Cohen, Jason Blum, Michael Clear and Scott Glassgold attached.
The filmmaker and where it’s shooting
Seasons will be Hancock’s second feature after The Companion. Cameras are scheduled to roll this September on location in Ireland — so expect plenty of atmospheric countryside and moody weather to do half the haunting for them.
Why Reynor keeps showing up on Amazon
This marks almost Reynor’s third back-to-back project tied to Amazon. He turned heads in the second season of Citadel last year, has Lee Cronin’s Mummy on his résumé, and is lined up to star in Gareth Evans’ A Colt Is My Passport. In short: he’s having a very busy, very watchable run.
The takeaway
If you like haunted-house vibes that favor slow-burn rituals over jump-scare spam, Seasons looks like it’ll scratch that itch — with a solid cast and a producer crew that knows how to sell spooky. Keep an eye out once filming wraps in Ireland; this one could be the feel-bad cozy hit of the festival circuit.
