COMMUNITY Star Gillian Jacobs Join's R.L. Stine's FEAR STREET Trilogy
Gillian Jacobs (Community, Love) is the latest to join the cast of the Fear Street trilogy which is based on R.L. Stine’s young adult horror book series.
The first film is set in 1994 in the town of Shadyside and focuses on “a group of teens that discover that the deadly events occurring in their town have not only been happening for centuries, but are also connected. The other stories are set in 1978 and 1666 before finding their way back to 1994.”
Jacobs will appear in all the movies, and in the 1994 setting, “she will play a maintenance worker in a summer camp.” All three films will be shot back-to-back and are currently in production in Atlanta under the direction of Leigh Jeniak.
Jacobs is the most recognizable name in the cast as she joins Kiana Madeira, Sadie Sink, Olivia Welch and Fred Hechinger Jr., among others.
