“Alongside the talented Mamoudou Athie and Dina Shihabi, and visionary partners Atomic Monster and [director/EP] Rebecca Thomas, I’m excited to take Netflix viewers on a terrifying and visually thrilling adventure.”
As they’ve acquired the rights to the popular found-footage horror podcast, Netflix has greenlit a series adaptation of Archive 81 and have already begun building their cast with the additions of Mamoudou Athie (Black Box) and Dina Shihabi (Altered Carbon) as leads.
As he becomes drawn into her story, Dan becomes convinced he can rescue her from the terrifying end she met 25 years ago.
“With Archive 81, we’re hoping to give the supernatural horror genre a new twist — while keeping a dark, deeply emotional romance as its core,” Sonnenshine said in a statement.
