Peyton List is set to star in a leading role in the upcoming sci-fi horror film The Friendship Game, Deadline confirms.
List’s role in The Friendship Game joins her lengthy resume of previous acting credits, including Netflix’s Cobra Kai, Hulu’s Light As A Feather, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and Disney Channel’s Jessie and Bunk’d.
Though little has been released about the story, Deadline summarized that The Friendship Game follows a group of teens in a small town. They come across a strange object that tests their loyalties to each other with increasingly destructive consequences the deeper into the game they go.
The script will be penned by Damien Ober (The OA) and the series will be directed by Scooter Corkle (Hollow in the Land). Filming is set to begin the first week of September, 2021 in Vancouver, Canada.
Director Corkle is excited about List’s commitment to the project. “Adding Peyton’s affectionate touch to the character in the cerebral madness of The Friendship Game has everyone excited, just wait and see where she takes you. Paired with Damien Ober’s addition to the cosmic horror pantheon, believe me, you can’t know what you’re in for,” he says.
Deadline also shares that Bella Thorne was announced for the project in 2019 but is no longer aboard.
