Kumail Nanjiani and Mandy Moore have signed up to star in ‘Thread: An Insidious Tale,’ a new film in the ‘Insidious’ universe.
Coming from Screen Gems, Blumhouse and James Wan’s Atomic Monster, the project is an offshoot project, rather than a continuation of the current series. The story here is that of a husband and wife (Nanjiani and Moore) who enlist the help of a spell to travel back in time, such that they can prevent the death of their young daughter. The consequences, of course, prove to be severe.
‘Moon Knight’ creator Jeremy Slater is onboard to take the helm on the picture. The fifth chapter in the franchise, ‘Insidious: The Red Door’ coming up via release by Sony on July 7th.

Moore has just wrapped a role opposite Edgar Ramirez in the second season of the Peacock anthology ‘Dr. Death,’ having last year closed out six seasons on NBC’s ‘This Is Us.’ She is next set to star in and executive produce Hulu’s series ‘Twin Flames,’ inspired by the hit Wondery podcast.
Nanjiani was most recently seen starring in Hulu’s limited series ‘Welcome to Chippendales,’ and Disney+’s ‘Star Wars’ prequel series ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ opposite Ewan McGregor. Coming up he is currently in production on the sequel to ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife.’
