Following the massive success of Get Out, there’s a huge amount of excitement for director/writer Jordan Peele’s next project, the horror-thriller Us.

Already, there are some stellar names attached to star in the project, including Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o, Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid’s Tale), Winston Duke (Black Panther), Tim Heidecker (Tim & Eric), Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Aquaman), and Anna Diop (24: Legacy).

The cast has since been rounded off, Shahadi Wright Joseph (the voice of Young Nala in the upcoming live-action Lion King remake) along with Evan Alex, Madison Curry, Cali Sheldon and Noelle Sheldon joining.

Little else is currently known about the upcoming movie as plot details remain under wraps. Universal – who are distributing the movie under their new deal with Peele’s production company, Monkeypaw Productions – have scheduled a release date for 15 March, 2019. A poster was revealed earlier this year.

Meanwhile, Peele has been acting as executive producer on the TV showThe Last O.G. and will also produce the upcoming remake of The Twilight Zone.
