- Eric McCormack (Will & Grace Emmy winner, 246 episodes) is starring in the psychological thriller You're Safe Now, written by Jess Mastro and directed by Nimisha Mukerji (Under The Bridge, 911).
- Cast also includes Anja Savcic (Loudermilk), Jesse Rath (Supergirl), and Bo Martynowska (Nancy Drew), with production underway in Toronto.
- The Launch Company is producing and financing, with Chris K. Daniels producing alongside Mastro and Craig Fleming; Mastro also serves as the company's Head of Development.
- The film is described as 'a character-driven psychological drama' and 'an aching portrait of loneliness, mortality and the monstrous forms love can take.'
- McCormack's recent credits include MGM+/Sony's Nine Dead Bodies in a Mexican Morgue, Hulu's The Other Black Girl, a Broadway run in The Cottage, and Netflix's Travelers, which he also directed and produced.
- Representation: McCormack is repped by Gersh, 3 Arts Entertainment, and Sloane Offer Weber & Dern; Mastro is repped by Gersh and Echo Lake Entertainment.
Why it matters: For McCormack — a Will & Grace alum with stars on both Canada's and Hollywood's Walk of Fame — the casting marks a pivot into darker, character-driven territory following Broadway and recent streaming work, while giving rising writer-director Mastro her first major thriller with a recognizable lead.
