Giancarlo Esposito (Better Call Saul, Abigail, MaXXXine), Aya Cash (The Boys) and Jessica Harper (Suspiria) join Charlie Day (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) and Allison Williams (Get Out, M3GAN) in murder mystery thriller Kill Me, Deadline reports.
Directed and written by Peter Warren (The Auteur), Kill Me follows:
Jimmy (Day) [who ]wakes up in a bathtub after having tried to kill himself. Or, at least, that’s what it looks like to his friends and family. Jimmy is pretty sure he didn’t do it…Maybe. Together with Margot (Williams), the 911 operator who took his call, Jimmy sets out on a mission to solve a vitally important whodunit: did someone try to kill him, or are they chasing the specter of depression?
Previously, speaking with Deadline, Warren spoke about the casting of Williams and the deeper themes of Kill Me:
“We are thrilled to find in Allison not just an incredible actress to tackle the role of Margot, but a partner who is as passionate as we are about this brave discussion of mental health and suicidality, a subject which has touched all of our lives so deeply,”
Kill Me is produced by XYZ Films, Mike Richardson and Keith Goldberg for Dark Horse Entertainment, Charlie Day and Peter Warren. Natalie Metzger of Vanishing Angle is also producing. Pic is financed by XYZ Films with funding from IPR.VC and Rabbits Black.
Executive producers include Paul Schwake and Kasey Adler for Dark Horse, Matt Miller for Vanishing Angle, and Timo Argillander, Andrea Scarso, Allison Williams and Giancarlo Esposito. Oli Strong, Ronnie Exley, Jeremy Ross and Sean Krajewski of Rabbits Black also executive-produced, alongside Eric Bromberg.
Look out for more on Kill Me as we get it!
