‘Hamnet’ Actor Joe Alwyn Joins Cast of Tomas Alfredson’s ‘Seance on a Wet Afternoon’

Joe Alwyn (Hamnet, The Brutalist) has joined the cast of Seance on a Wet Afternoon, the new film from Tomas Alfredson (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Let The Right One In), currently shooting in the U.K.

Rachel Weisz (The Favourite) and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession) star in the drama, written by Adolescence writer Jack Thorne. Weisz plays Myra, a self-proclaimed medium, who convinces her husband, Billy (Macfadyen), to kidnap the son of a wealthy family so she can lead the police to the “missing” child and legitimize her psychic abilities.

Irish production outfit Element Pictures (Bugonia, Poor Things), a Fremantle company, is producing the feature, together with Astral Projection, the outfit run by Weisz and British executive producer Polly Stokes. The project is part of a first-look and development deal between Astral and Fremantle that was signed back in 2024.

Robyn Slovo, Ed Guiney, and Andrew Lowe are producers for Element Pictures…
