The script is written by Julia Cox. Character details, including those of Basso’s role, are being kept under wraps.

Black Panther cinematographer-turned-helmer Rachel Morrison is directing the feature that is being produced by Ryan Gosling and partner Jessie Henderson. The duo is producing via Open Invite Entertainment, formerly known as General Admission.

Production is currently underway.

Basso successfully transitioned from child actor to adult thespian, first appearing in coming-of-age movies such as Super 8 and The Kings of Summer before going on to portray J.D. Vance in Ron Howard’s Hillbilly Elegy and one of the villains in horror movie The Strangers.

This fall, he reprises the horror villain role for The Strangers: Chapter 2, which will hit theaters Sept. 26. And he is part of the ensemble line-up of A House of Dynamite, the highly-anticipated political thriller from Kathryn Bigelow which is set to premiere at the Venice Film Festival before its theatrical release and Netflix debut on Oct. 24.

Night Agent, created by Shawn Ryan, is a thriller series that debuted as the platform’s third most-watched series premiere and currently stands as the sixth most-watched series of all time on the platform. The second season was released in January, while a third season is in the works.

Basso is repped by WME, Range Media Partners, Untitled Entertainment, and Yorn Levine.
