Jeremy Saulnier’s much-anticipated feature, Rebel Ridge, will be available on Netflix from September 6. This action film stars rising British actor Aaron Pierre, who plays a man arriving in a small town to bail out his cousin, only to have his money confiscated by a corrupt local police chief, Sandy Burnne, played by Don Johnson.

Saulnier, known for his strong presence in genre film-making, is famed for his work on the horror comedy Murder Party (2007), revenge thriller Blue Ruin (2013), horror film Green Room (2015), and Netflix action thriller Hold the Dark (2018).

Erik and Lyle will be portrayed by Cooper Koch and Nicholas Chavez, while Javier Bardem and Chloë Sevigny take on the roles of their parents, José and Kitty. The first season of this anthology, Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, was critically acclaimed and garnered six Emmy nominations.

Launching on September 20, Azazel Jacobs’ emotional drama His Three Daughters features stars Carrie Coon, Elizabeth Olsen, and Natasha Lyonne as sisters who reunite in their childhood New York City apartment to care for their father during his final days in home hospice care.
