Producers include Perkins for the production company, Phobos, and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones for Range. Plot details are currently under wraps.

The Young People marks the first project out of a first-look deal Neon signed earlier this year with Perkins and Phobos. It's their latest collaboration, following the success of Longlegs, which was 2024's highest-grossing independent film, with $75 million (Dh275.44 million approximately) domestically, according to the outlet.

Kidman, who has Scarpetta for Prime Video and Margo's Got Money Trouble for Apple TV+, is no stranger to the genre world, but is perhaps best known in horror circles for the 2001 smash hit The Others.

The film, in which she played a mother battling supernatural forces in an old English manor along with her two children, is widely regarded as one of the best horror titles of all time, amassing more than $210 million globally at the box office and earning Kidman both BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations.
