Kyle Soller, Phoebe Fox, John Macmillan, Belinda Bromilow, Liv Hill, Francis Magee, Phoebe Campbell, Akshay Khanna, Bamshad Abedi Amin and Den Rasaq have joined the ensemble cast of Mosquito, the upcoming Hulu dramedy series from writer Tony McNamara. They join previously announced stars Nicholas Hoult and Daisy Edgar-Jones as principal photography begins in the UK.
Hoult and Edgar-Jones play newlyweds Ed and Kate. Mosquito reunites McNamara with Hoult, who starred in McNamara’s Hulu Original The Great.
On Ed’s side, Soller plays Hunter, Ed’s half-brother, who has given his life to the family business only to find he must share it with Ed. Fox plays Gail, their cousin, an anthropology PhD student and trusted co-worker, and Magee plays Viktor, a longtime employee with a score to settle.
In Kate’s office, Bromilow plays Agnes, Kate’s boss, described as having “an apex predator’s instincts and a medieval court’s management style.” Macmillan plays Brian, a high-flyer, and Hill plays Georgie, Kate’s rival.
Khanna plays Will, Kate’s old university friend, and Campbell plays his wife, Cressida. Abedi Amin and Rasaq round out the cast as Gail’s PhD supervisor and another work rival for Kate, respectively.
According to the official description, Ed and Kate are “a recently married couple whose secrets begin to reveal as daily life chips away at the personas they present…all started by an intrusive mosquito.” The ensemble spans their work lives, home lives and everywhere in between.
Mosquito will stream on Disney+ and Hulu in the U.S.
McNamara wrote the series and serves as showrunner. Matthew Moore directs all six episodes. 20th Television, Piggy Ate Roast Beef Productions and Hustle & Punch produce. McNamara, Hoult, Edgar-Jones, Marian Macgowan, Tracy Underwood and Daniel Pipski executive produce. Lee Mason, vice president, scripted, Disney+ EMEA, commissioned the series for Disney+.
“I’m excited for Disney+ and Hulu audiences to see the wonderfully absurd world Tony has created,” Mason said in a statement.
