Peyton Elizabeth Lee To Topline Hulu-Bound Horror Comedy ‘Carved’ From WorthenBrooks

EXCLUSIVE: Peyton Elizabeth Lee (Prom Pact) has wrapped the lead role in Carved, a horror comedy produced for Hulu Originals by WorthenBrooks (formerly 20th Digital Studio), which will premiere exclusively on Hulu later this year.

Directed by up-and-comer Justin Harding, from his script written with Cheryl Meyer (The Last Mark), Carved is based on the 2018 short of the same name, written and directed by Harding for Hulu’s Bite Size Halloween. The story is about a heartbroken teenage playwright, her younger brother, and a group of survivors who become trapped in a historical reenactment village on Halloween night and must band together to survive a relentless attack by a sentient and vengeful pumpkin.

Others in the cast include Corey Fogelmanis (Ma), Wyatt Lindner (Titans), Carla Jimenez (The Mick), Sasha Mason (Ozark), Jonah Lees (The Phantom of the Open), DJ Qualls (The New Guy), Marc Sully Saint-Fleur (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Elvis Nolasco (Godfather of Harlem), Matty Cardarople (Stranger Things), Jackson Kelly (Chucky), and Chris Elliott (Schitt’s Creek).

Part of WorthenBrooks’ first-look horror slate with Hulu Originals, the film was developed by WorthenBrooks, with David Brooks, Debbie Liebling, Arbi Pedrossian, and Jenna Cavelle serving as producers. Miles Alva served as an executive producer, with Lorne Raimi, Alex Hansen, and Nick Page co-producing.

Perhaps best known for starring in Disney Channel’s Andi Mack and Disney+’s Doogie Kamealoha, M.D., Carved‘s lead Lee has also been seen in films like Prom Pact and Secret Society of Second Born Royals, both for Disney+. Up next, she’ll be heard as part of the voice cast for Laika’s Wildwood.

Previously, Harding has helmed award-winning shorts like Kookie and Latched, also working on series like The Haunted Museum and Restaurants on the Edge.
