Here is a wrap-up of all the news you need to know from Friday, May 6, 2022.


We have Shudder news, Mayfair Witches casting scoop, and more.


Scroll down to get up to speed.


Shudder announced today that production will begin next week on 1970s supernatural horror The Sacrifice Game, written by Jenn Wexler (The Ranger) and Sean Redlitz and set to be directed by Wexler. It will star Mena Massoud, Olivia Scott Welch, with Gus Kenworthy and Chloë Levine, who also starred in Wexler’s The Ranger.


The film, which begins principal photography May 9, 2022, is set at a girls’ boarding school over Christmas break, 1971, where Samantha and Clara, two students staying behind for the holidays, must survive the night against uninvited visitors.


“We loved The Ranger and are thrilled to be working with Jenn and her team to bring her new film, The Sacrifice Game, to life. Jenn’s film promises to be a wild and thrilling ride that offers a fresh take on timeless horror themes. We can’t wait to share it with our members,” said Shudder General Manager Craig Engler.


“I am extremely excited to be working with this incredible cast and to be partnering again with Shudder and with RSM. The Sacrifice Game is my tribute to the beauty and boldness of ‘70s horror, anchored in an unlikely friendship between outsiders,” said Wexler.


TV Fanatic says that we cannot wait to get eyes on this one!


Boardwalk Empire and House of Gucci star, Jack Huston, has joined the highly-anticipated adaptation of Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches on AMC.


Alexandra Daddario plays neurosurgen Dr. Rowan Fielding, the heir to the family of witches. Reeling from the discovery and grappling with newfound powers, she must contend with a sinister presence who has haunted her family for generations.


Huston is that presence, Lasher, who Anne Rice has described as a mysterious and sensual, powerful, shape-shifting entity bound to the family for hundreds of years.


Huston joins previously announced cast members Daddario, Harry Hamlin as Cortland Mayfair, and Tongayi Chirisa as Ciprien.
