Meta and XRTV have set the main cast for their “Talk to Me” immersive 3D spinoff series, Deadline has learned.
Aubri Ibrag (“The Buccaneers”), Charlotte Maggi (Rebel Moon), Sofia Hublitz (“Ozark”), and Julio Peña (“Berlin”) will star as series regulars, with Charlie Hiscock (“Ted Lasso”) and Raff Law (“Masters of the Air”) in recurring roles.
Announced back in October, the currently untitled project is being created exclusively for Meta’s immersive VR devices, allowing audiences to experience the terror firsthand.
Exploring the lingering fallout of supernatural contact through a new ensemble of characters, the series is set during a thrill-seeking weekend in Ibiza.
Estranged friends Lauryn (Ibrag) and Keeley (Maggi) reunite with socialite Blake (Hublitz), alongside two British best mates (Hiscock and Law) who supply them with party drugs sourced from an island dealer (Peña). But what begins as a reckless escape quickly escalates when the group is introduced to a high like no other.
Production is currently underway in Spain, with Craig William Macneill (“Them,” “Channel Zero”) directing all six half-hour episodes, written by Trent Atherton.
Talk to Me creators Danny & Michael Philippou executive produce for Blue Bear alongside showrunner Darren Brandl and Jack Davis for XRTV, Samantha Jennings and Kristina Ceyton for Causeway Films (Talk to Me, The Babadook), and Andreas Michael Wentz and Juan Antonio Cano Trujillo for Sur Film. Jeff Rich is producing for Meta.
Released in 2022, Talk to Me follows a group of friends who discover how to conjure spirits using an embalmed hand. They become hooked on the new thrill, until one of them goes too far and unleashes terrifying supernatural forces.
