Arian Moayed, who plays private equity investor Stewy Hosseini in the HBO series Succession and appeared in both Spider-Man: No Way Home and Ms. Marvel as Agent Cleary, has signed on to join Oscar-winner Ariana DeBose (West Side Story) and Barbie Ferreira (Euphoria) in the thriller House of Spoils, which is coming to us from Blumhouse Television and Amazon Prime Video.
The film is being written and directed by the duo of Bridget Savage Cole and Danielle Krudy, whose previous credits include the 2019 film Blow the Man Down, episodes of the recent mini-series adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand, and episodes of the AMC+ series Moonhaven.
Described as a “tense, psychological and sensuous” thriller, House of Spoils will see DeBose taking on the role of
an ambitious chef who opens her first restaurant—a farm-to-table affair on a remote estate—where she battles kitchen chaos, a dubious investor, crushing self doubts… and the powerful spirit of the estate’s previous owner who threatens to sabotage her at every turn.
Details on the characters Moayed and Ferreira will be playing have not been revealed.
Variety reports that House of Spoils will begin filming in Budapest next week. The project is being produced by Blumhouse’s Jason Blum, Secret Engine’s Alex Scharfman, Lucas Joaquin, and Drew Houpt, and Divide/Conquer’s Adam Hendricks and Greg Gilreath. Blumhouse Television’s Chris McCumber and Jeremy Gold serve as executive producers.
