Debbie Harry, Pamela Anderson Cast as Mother and Daughter in Maitreya

The Cannes market launch positions the project to secure buyers before production begins.

Overview

  • Industry outlets confirmed the pairing in the indie comedy Maitreya, written by Samuel D. Hunter and directed by Portlandia co-creator Jonathan Krisel.
  • An official synopsis from studio Caviar says Anderson plays a rising New Age healer who brings her family, including her mother played by Harry, to a conference in India.
  • The film is being shopped at the Cannes market, with most reports pointing to filming later this year, while at least one outlet reports a late‑2026 start.
  • Producers include Bert Hamelinck, Michael Sagol, Allison Hironaka, and Danica Radovanov at Caviar, with Sagol calling it Krisel’s first feature with the team.
  • The casting marks Harry’s return to feature films after more than a decade and extends Anderson’s recent career upswing following The Last Showgirl and new studio projects.
