Lily James Set to Star in Amazon MGM Horror Film Seasons

The attachment of Drew Hancock and major producers points to growing studio appetite for studio-scale adaptations of viral internet fiction.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported Monday that Lily James has signed to play the wife in Seasons, a horror thriller that Drew Hancock wrote and will direct for Amazon MGM Studios.
  • The screenplay is adapted from a viral short story by Matt and Harrison Query that first appeared on Reddit and was later expanded into longer forms.
  • Producers attached include 21 Laps, Blumhouse Atomic Monster and 12:01 Films with named producers Shawn Levy, Dan Levine, Jason Blum, Michael Clear and Scott Glassgold.
  • The story follows a married couple who buy a ranch only to find the land inhabited by ancient spirits that impose escalating seasonal rituals; no further casting, production start date or release plan have been announced.
  • The project follows Hancock’s 2025 feature Companion and fits a wider industry trend of studios turning internet-originated horror into mainstream films, so trade watchers will be tracking casting, a shooting schedule and distribution details next.
