Sophie Thatcher, the breakout star of survival horror sensation Yellowjackets, is trading one nightmare for another in her terrifying new role.
The rising actress has been cast in Prime Video's psychological thriller 'The Consultant', where she'll share the screen with Oscar winner Christoph Waltz in what promises to be another chilling performance.
From Wilderness to Workplace Terror
While Thatcher captivated audiences as teenage survivalist Natalie in the hit Showtime series, her latest role sees her navigating a different kind of horror - the corporate kind. In The Consultant, she portrays a character caught in the sinister web of a mysterious consultant played by Waltz, whose unsettling methods transform a mobile gaming company into a house of psychological terror.
'It's a completely different kind of fear,' sources close to the production reveal. 'Where Yellowjackets explored physical survival and primal terror, this delves into psychological manipulation and workplace dread.'
A Star on the Rise
Thatcher's casting continues her impressive trajectory in the horror and thriller genres, proving her knack for delivering compelling performances in high-tension scenarios. Her work in Yellowjackets earned critical acclaim for its raw emotional depth and authenticity.
The eight-episode series, based on Bentley Little's novel, promises to deliver the same atmospheric tension that made Yellowjackets a cultural phenomenon, but with a corporate twist that might hit closer to home for many viewers.
Prime Video's Chilling New Addition
The Consultant represents another major get for Prime Video's original programming slate, joining other high-profile thriller content on the platform. With Waltz's formidable presence and Thatcher's proven talent for navigating dark narratives, the series is already generating significant buzz among horror enthusiasts.
Fans won't have to wait long to see Thatcher back in action - while Yellowjackets continues its successful run, The Consultant offers the perfect fix for those craving more of the actress's compelling work in the thriller genre.
