Shults serves as co-writer for the script alongside The Weeknd and his producing partner Reza Fahim. The plot is based on an original idea from the musician. The Weeknd, Fahim, Kevin Turen and Harrison Kreiss serve as producers while Ortega and Shults are executive producers.

Shults’ most recent feature was the 2019 film “Waves,” a family drama starring Kelvin Harrison, Jr., Taylor Russell, Sterling K. Brown, Lucas Hedges, Alexa Demie and Renée Elise Goldsberry. He’s also directed the psychological horror film “It Comes at Night” (2017), starring Joel Edgerton, and the drama “Krisha” (2015), which stars his real aunt Krisha Fairchild.

Ortega is known for a myriad of horror roles; she stars in Tim Burton’s “Wednesday” series on Netflix, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” and has appeared in the “Scream” franchise and the A24 film “X.” Among other projects, she also starred in “Miller’s Girl” and “The Fallout.” Meanwhile, Keoghan recently starred in Emerald Fennell’s sophomore feature “Saltburn,” following up roles in “The Banshees of Inisherin” and “The Batman.”

The Weeknd is known for his HBO series “The Idol,” which he co-created with Sam Levinson and Reza Fahim and starred in alongside Lily-Rose Depp. The series, which follows a pop star connecting with a cult leader, was critically panned and not renewed for a second season. The Weeknd has also appeared as himself in “Uncut Gems.” “Hurry Up Tomorrow” marks his feature film debut as an actor.
