MOSQUITO: NICHOLAS HOULT AND DAISY EDGAR-JONES TO STAR IN NEW DISNEY+ COMEDY DRAMA

Disney+ announces Mosquito, from acclaimed screenwriter Tony McNamara, comes a sardonic look at a young couple’s relationship, starring Golden Globe and Emmy® award-nominated Nicholas Hoult (Superman, Nosferatu) and BAFTA and Emmy® award-nominated Daisy Edgar-Jones (Normal People, Twisters).

The British powerhouse leads play Kate and Ed, 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.

Tony McNamara, writer and executive producer, said “I’m thrilled and excited to work with and team up two of the best actors around. I can’t wait to go make absurd comedy with them.”

In a joint statement, Eric Schrier, president, Disney Television Studios and Global Original Television Strategy, The Walt Disney Company, and Angela Jain, Head of Content, Disney+ EMEA said, “Tony is one of the most talented writers working in film and television today, with a legacy of incredible success at Disney... 

"He has an unmatched ability to bring fascinating and complex stories to life weaving sharply written, intricate dialogue with signature dark-humour and complexity. Partnering with him on ‘Mosquito’ is an incredible step forward for our local original content and reinforces our ambitions in the UK.”

More details will be announced in due course.
