Nicole Kidman Joins Cast of Perkins' Horror Film The Young People

Academy Award-winning actress Nicole Kidman has joined the cast of "The Young People," the latest horror film from director Osgood Perkins, whose recent works have drawn significant attention in the genre. Production is currently underway in Vancouver, with the ensemble featuring rising talents Lola Tung and Nico Parker alongside veterans Brendan Hines, Cush Jumbo, Heather Graham, Johnny Knoxville, Lexi Minetree, Lily Collias and Tatiana Maslany.

The film marks Kidman's return to horror after more than two decades, following her acclaimed role in the 2001 gothic thriller "The Others," directed by Alejandro Amenábar, which grossed over $210 million worldwide and earned her BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations. Kidman has appeared in other genre projects, including "Stoker," "Birth," "The Invasion," "Dead Calm" and "The Killing of a Sacred Deer," but has focused largely on dramas and thrillers in recent years. She has upcoming roles in the Prime Video series "Scarpetta" and the Apple TV+ production "Margo's Got Money Trouble," as well as a return to the supernatural in the "Practical Magic" sequel set for 2026.
