In the wake of brand new horror movie Smiley Face Killers, we’ve learned this week that Crispin Glover has booked his next gig, a starring role in HBO Max series “Red Bird Lane.”
Deadline broke the news, reporting that Glover (Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, Willard) has been set as a series regular for what’s being described as a psychological thriller.
Deadline adds, “James Urbaniak, Jamie Clayton, Rya Kihlstedt and Grantham Coleman will appear as recurring characters. Damon Dayoub will guest star.”
The series “follows eight strangers who arrive at an isolated house, all for different reasons. Upon their mysterious and coincidental arrival, the strangers realize that something sinister and terrifying awaits them. Glover will play Jonah, a bad man who arrives at the mysterious house in the center of the thriller for money.”
“Red Bird Lane” is written by Sara Gran (“Southland”) and directed by David Slade (Hard Candy, “Hannibal”). The cast also includes Susan Sarandon and Kiersey Clemons.
