Prime Video has ordered the pilot ‘The Nightbeast.’ The filming of this forthcoming project will start in Vancouver, British Columbia, in July. Leah Rachel and Travis Jackson are the creators of the project, with Jamie Babbit on board as the director. The pilot is headlined by Tatiana Maslany.
The plot revolves around a woman who is unhappy with the move to a new home her husband has chosen for their family. She meets an alluring man in an underworld known as The Nightbeast and wonders if this mysterious figure could be the key to the excitement she craves.
Rachel is known for creating Netflix’s horror fantasy series ‘Chambers,’ starring Sivan Alyra Rose and Uma Thurman. The show revolves around a woman who survives a heart transplant and begins developing different personality traits. Jackson previously worked on ‘Chambers’ by writing two episodes. The screenwriter’s other credits include Netflix’s ‘Hemlock Grove.’
Maslany is known for playing Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk in Marvel Studios’ superhero series ‘She-Hulk.’ The actress appeared in around fifty episodes of ‘Orphan Black’ and eight episodes of ‘Perry Mason.’ She recently completed filming Oz Perkins’ ‘The Monkey,’ also starring Christian Convery, Theo James, and Elijah Wood.
In addition to ‘The Nightbeast,’ Prime Video has recently ordered the pilot ‘Band,’ which is slated to commence filming in Atlanta, Georgia, in June. Daniel Barnz is behind the project as both a writer and director. The series delves into the ambitions of a group of teenagers from Georgia as they pursue their dreams of winning national championships with fervor and determination.
Prime Video’s lineup of upcoming shows also includes ‘Quarter Life,’ a series written by Riz Ahmed. Scheduled to begin filming in London, England, in July, this project has garnered attention for its potential inclusion of Ahmed in a leading role. The plot of the series remains undisclosed for now.
Along with the pilot, upcoming projects such as Eric Bana’s Netflix Series ‘Untamed‘ and the third season of ‘Yellowjackets‘ will start shooting in Vancouver in the upcoming months. The city has earlier hosted the filming of high-profile projects such as ‘Shōgun’ and ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender.’
