The project is also a departure for Keery and Morrone, who individually rose to fame on hit TV shows.
Keery is best known for playing Steve Harrington on Netflix’s Stranger Things. He has since experimented with his filmography by accepting roles such as a murderous and social media obsessed rideshare driver in Spree and the antagonistic Gator Tillman on season 5 of FX’s Fargo.
