Daniel Ings (The Marvels) and Stephanie Beatriz (pictured above in Brooklyn 99) have been summoned to join the cast of Amazon MGM’s horror flick Summoner, reports Deadline.
They join star Kevin Bacon (Friday the 13th).
Jeremy Slater, the longtime genre writer behind Mortal Kombat II and Umbrella Academy, wrote the script and will make his directorial debut with the feature.
The film follows an exorcist named Jefferson Haddock (Bacon), who is called into an isolated witness protection property to deal with a terrifying demon, accidentally unleashing a force that threatens to end him and everything around him.
No word yet on who Ings or Beatriz will play.
Horror filmmaker Andy Muschietti (It, Mama), Barbara Muschietti, and Russell Ackerman will produce via their Nocturna banner (They Will Kill You).
Kevin Bacon’s horror credits start with Friday the 13th (1980), where he plays Jack, one of the film’s early victims, then continue through the creature-feature classic Tremors (1990) and the supernatural thriller Stir of Echoes (1999). His recent horror run includes The Darkness (2016), You Should Have Left (2020), They/Them (2022), MaXXXine (2024), The Bondsman (2025), and the forthcoming Family Movie.
As for Ings, he’s maybe best known for his role in the series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Beatriz, meanwhile, is a fan favorite on the show Brooklyn 99.
Dan Kagan, one of the producers of horror hit Longlegs, is executive producing.
Slater also earned creator credits on Marvel Studios’ Moon Knight and Fox’s The Exorcist, as well as Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.
Summoner is now in production and will arrive in theaters on an undisclosed date.
