- Eric McCormack is starring in "You're Safe Now," a character-driven psychological drama described by the producers as "an aching portrait of loneliness, mortality and the monstrous forms love can take."
- Nimisha Mukerji (Under the Bridge, 911) is directing the project, with Jess Mastro (Underrated) writing the screenplay; production is currently taking place in Toronto.
- Anja Savcic (Loudermilk), Jesse Rath (Supergirl) and Bo Martynowska (Nancy Drew) round out the announced cast alongside McCormack.
- Mastro is also currently serving as Head of Development at The Launch Company, and is repped by Gersh and Echo Lake Entertainment.
- McCormack most recently starred in MGM+/Sony's "Nine Dead Bodies in a Mexican Morgue" and Hulu's "The Other Black Girl," and holds stars on both Canada's Walk of Fame and the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
- McCormack played Will Truman for 246 episodes on NBC's Will & Grace, winning the Emmy for Lead Actor in a Comedy in 2001; he is represented by Gersh, 3 Arts Entertainment, and Sloane Offer Weber & Dern.
Why it matters: McCormack, best known for 246 episodes of NBC's Will & Grace and his 2001 Emmy for comedy, is taking a clear tonal detour into psychological drama — the kind the source frames around 'mortality and the monstrous forms love can take.' Shooting in Toronto also keeps the project tethered to his Canadian roots and Walk of Fame pedigree rather than a Hollywood soundstage.
