The Bear star Ayo Edebiri has joined Amazon MGM Studios' upcoming thriller After the Hunt from director Luca Guadagnino, Deadline reports. Edebiri is set to star alongside previously announced cast members Julia Roberts and Andrew Garfield.
Details about Edebiri's role remain close to the vest, but the official synopsis describes the upcoming film as "an intense dramatic thriller" about a college professor who finds herself in a difficult situation when a star pupil accuses one of her colleagues. As the professor deals with the sudden circumstance, "a dark secret from her own past threatens to come to light."
According to the outlet, production for After the Hunt is set to commence this summer. The film is also expected to hit theaters next year.
Best known for starring as Sydney Adamu in the hit series The Bear, Edebiri has also lent her voice to Envy for the upcoming second installment of Inside Out, set to hit theaters on June 14, 2024. She has also starred in several features and television shows, including The Sweet East, Bottoms, Dickinson, and Abbott Elementary. This is in addition to the actor's number of voice-acting gigs, such as in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, Big Mouth, and Clone High.
On the other hand, Guadagnino has a stellar directing portfolio that has launched his career into the stratosphere, including I Am Love, A Bigger Splash, Call Me By Your Name, Suspiria, and Bones and All. His latest, the sports drama Challengers, has debuted to an impressive box office revenue.
The next project from Guadagnino, though other information is still unknown, is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the director's film catalog, with Roberts and Garfield - both known for their acting chops - starring alongside one of this generation's most in-demand stars, Edebiri.
