Kyle Soller, Phoebe Campbell, and Francis Magee itching to join Tony McNamara's Mosquito

Hoult and Edgar-Jones play Ed and Kate, whose happy new marriage begins to crumble upon the unexpected appearance of “an intrusive mosquito,” which seems extreme, though we don’t pretend to know how the British perceive mosquitoes. That annoying “bzzzzzzzzzz” could have sent Ed and Kate spiraling into an argument about how Kate always has to shut the windows around here and that I’m not happy, Ed, which is perfectly understandable. At any rate, story details from the Poor Things screenwriter’s latest come with Tuesday’s casting announcement, featuring the suite of actors who’ll join Hoult and Edgar-Jones (presumably with fly swatters) as their “work lives, home lives, and everywhere in between” deteriorate. 

Among the Mosquito mighty are: Kyle Soller (Slow Horses) as Hunter, a no-nonsense bloke who takes issue having to share the family biz(zzzz) with his half-brother Ed; Belinda Bromilow (The Great) plays Agnes, Kate’s “apex predator” boss; Phoebe Fox (Task) takes the role of Gail, a “trusted” anthropology PhD student; Francis Magee (Rose Of Nevada) is Viktor, “a longtime employee with a score to settle;” John Macmillan (House Of The Dragon) plays “effortlessly charming” Brian; Liv Hill (Three Girls) is Georgie, a rival in Kate’s circles; Akshay Khanna (Murderbot) and Phoebe Campbell (House Of The Dragon) play Will and Cressida, a married couple “with more secrets than their marriage can comfortably hold.” (Perhaps they also have mosquito troubles.) Bamshad Abedi Amin (Kill Jackie) and Den Rasaq (How To Kill Monsters) also star.

A premiere date has not been announced, but make sure to clear any standing water around your home on the regular just in case.
