Mamoudou Athie<\/strong> (Jurassic World: Dominion, Black Box, Uncorked<\/em>) and Dina Shihabi (Altered Carbon) <\/em>are set to star in Archive 81<\/em>, an eight-part series loosely based on the found footage supernatural horror podcast Archive 81<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Series logline: When archivist Dan Turner (Athie) takes a mysterious job restoring a collection of damaged videotapes from 1994, he finds himself reconstructing the work of documentary filmmaker Melody Pendras (Shihabi) and her investigation into a dangerous cult. As Dan is drawn into Melody\u2019s story, he becomes convinced he can save her from the terrifying end she met 25 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebecca Sonnenshine (The Boys<\/em> and The Vampire Diaries writer<\/em>) will be the showrunner, Atomic Monster, the production outfit founded by Saw<\/em> and Aquaman<\/em> writer James Wan, is producing, and Stranger Things<\/em> director Rebecca Thomas will helm half the series and executive produce. Paul Harris Boardman (The Exorcism of Emily Rose<\/em>) is the writer and executive producer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Archive 81<\/em> launched in 2018 and has run for three seasons. It describes itself as a fiction podcast about horror, cities, and the subconscious. Co-creators Marc Sollinger and Daniel Powell will serve as co-producers on the Netflix series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonnenshine said: \u201cWith Archive 81<\/em>, we\u2019re hoping to give the supernatural horror genre a new twist \u2014 while keeping a dark, deeply emotional romance as its core. Alongside the talented Mamoudou Athie and Dina Shihabi, and visionary partners Atomic Monster and Rebecca Thomas, I\u2019m excited to take Netflix viewers on a terrifying and visually thrilling adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wan and Michael Clear are executive producers, while Rob Hackett is a co-executive producer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
