In Gaslight, everyone thought Danny (Rothe) had gone missing. Towards the end of senior year she vanished one night leaving everyone confused and devastated…including her closest friend in the world Becca (Asbille). The series will pick up years later when late one night while Becca, her new husband and their baby son are having dinner, they get a visitor. It’s Danny. Inexplicably after all these years of no contact or explanation she’s returned and looking to reconnect. As we learn more about her and her boyfriend Ben, we soon come to realize there’s something darker and more sinister at play.

The Revenant and The Beast Must Die outfit New Regency will independently finance the project, marking their second collaboration with QCode, Automatik and Oddfellows after recently revealed Markiplier series The Edge of Sleep.

All episodes of Gaslight‘s first season will be written and directed by Joris-Peyrafitte, who is series creator, executive producer and writer. Executive producers also include Chloe and Trevor Moretz, Emma Koskoff, New Regency, QCode, Automatik and Oddfellows. Rothe and Asbille are co-executive producing.

Asbille is known for her performances in hit series Yellowstone and Fargo, and feature film Wind River.

In 2016, Joris-Peyrafitte became one of the youngest winners at the Sundance Film Festival when As You Are won the Dramatic Special Jury Award. Shortly after, he directed Dreamland, starring Margot Robbie, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.
