The cast has been announced for Dan Kay’s opioid drama “Spider & Jessie”. Jesse Williams and Mckenna Grace, who will both serve as producers on the film. Other cast members include Jojo Regina, Dacre Montgomery (“Stranger Things”), Forrest Goodluck, Fernanda Andrade (“Moon Knight”) and Malia Baker (“The Babysitter Club”).
The plot follows two rowdy sisters named Spider (Grace) and Jessie (Regina) who, after their mother’s overdose, fear that the overwhelmed foster parenting system will separate them and therefore cover up their deaths. But when the local police chief, their mother’s drug dealer and a violent ex get closer to the truth, the girls must decide how far to go to keep their secret buried.
Kay wrote the script together with Julia Keller. Filming has started in Florida.
Williams had his breakthrough role with Grey’s Anatomy and was most recently nominated for a Tony for the Broadway play Take Me Out. Grace, on the other hand, is known for series such as “The Handmaid’s Tale” and “Young Sheldon” and was also in “Gifted”.
