As Mike Flanagan’s Doctor Sleep continues to flesh out its core cast, the film has added Jocelin Donahue to its ranks.

Via Deadline, the Insidious: Chapter 2, Holidays, and The House of the Devil actress has landed a to-be-revealed role in the adaptation of Stephen King’s sequel to The Shining. Donahue joins Ewan McGregor, Rebecca Ferguson, Kyliegh Curran, Bruce Greenwood, Alyn Lind, Alex Essoe, and Carl Lumbly in the picture.

The synopsis for Doctor Sleep reads:

Doctor Sleep takes place years after the events at the Overlook Hotel and focuses on the now middle-aged Danny who is still traumatized. He’s followed in his father’s footsteps and has problems with anger management and alcoholism. He soon gives up drinking and settles in a small town in New Hampshire. While there, his psychic abilities start to resurface and he develops a psychic link with a 12-year-old girl named Abra Stone who he must save after he discovers her life is being threatened by a tribe of paranormals led by a man named Rose the Hat.

At present, Doctor Sleep is booked in for a January 2020 release.
