Evie Templeton, the rising British star best known for her breakout turn as Agnes DeMille in the second season of Netflix hit Wednesday, will star alongside Maika Monroe (It Follows, Longlegs, Watcher) in the Gothic thriller Victorian Psycho, reports Variety.
Monroe channeled American Psycho‘s Patrick Bateman in the first image shared ahead of the Cannes announcement.
Set in Victorian England, Victorian Psycho follows an eccentric governess who arrives at a remote gothic manor, where strange happenings stir suspicion that she’s not what she seems.
Directed by Zachary Wigon, the pic is based on Virginia Feito’s novel of the same name, with Feito adapting her own work.
Thomasin McKenzie (Last Night in Soho), Jason Isaacs (A Cure for Wellness, “White Lotus”), and Jacobi Jupe (The Exorcist) also star.
Victorian Psycho will hit theaters September 25, 2026, via Bleeker Street.
Victorian Psycho is produced by Dan Kagan (Longlegs) under his Traffic banner as well as Sebastien Raybaud (Greenland: Migration) for Anton and Wigon, in association with Anonymous Content.
“Zach’s vision is thrilling, and we know every frame will be shocking, unique, and for lack of a better word, cutting,” said Kent Sanderson, CEO at Bleecker Street.
