Osgood Perkins’ horror movie The Young People has added seven new cast members.

Perkins made his feature film directorial debut in 2015 with The Blackout’s Daughter. He followed that up with I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House in 2016 before he went on to make 2020’s Gretel & Hansel, 2024’s Longlegs, and 2025’s The Monkey. In addition to The Young People, he’s also got another horror movie, titled Keeper, coming out next month.

While plot details for The Young People remain under wraps at this time, it was previously announced that the movie will star Lola Tung and Nico Parker. It is being released by Neon in 2026.
