Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Encanto and In The Heights star Stephanie Beatriz will star opposite The Vampire Diaries’ Paul Wesley in the upcoming horror-thriller film History of Evil, Deadline reports.

The film follows a family on the run from a corrupt state, as they take refuge in a safe house with an evil past – a terrifying last stop on a near-future Underground Railroad. History of Evil is written and directed by Iranian-American filmmaker Bo Mirhosseni, with Shudder boarding the film. XYZ films and Two & Two Pictures are producing.

“We are thrilled to be working with XYZ and Two & Two Pictures as we continue to spotlight new and emerging storytellers within this genre, and Bo’s thrilling film debut is no exception,” said Emily Gotto, VP Global Acquisitions and Co-Productions at Shudder. “We are excited to have such talents as Stephanie and Paul on board to bring these dynamic characters to life and look forward to sharing the film with Shudder members.”

Filming is due to begin in spring this year, which likely means a release date at the end of 2022 or beginning of 2023.
