Filming is now underway on Tony McNamara’s Mosquito starring Nicholas Hoult and Daisy Edgar-Jones. The production is taking place in the UK, with Matthew Moore (Two Weeks in August) on board to direct the six-episode series.
Hoult and Edgar-Jones are joined by Kyle Soller (Slow Horses), Phoebe Fox (Task), John Macmillan (House of the Dragon), Belinda Bromilow (The Great), Liv Hill (Three Girls), and Francis Magee (Kin). Phoebe Campbell (Midsomer Murders), Akshay Khanna (Murderbot), Bamshad Abedi Amin (Kill Jackie), and Den Rasaq round out the ensemble.
“We are all more than thrilled to be making Mosquito for Disney+, Hulu, and 20th Television. Led by Nicholas and Daisy and rounded out by this extraordinary cast we couldn’t be more excited,” stated executive producer Marian Macgowan and showrunner Tony McNamara (The Great).
Additional executive producers include McNamara, Nicholas Hoult, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Tracy Underwood, and Daniel Pipski.
Hulu offered this synopsis and character description:
“Hoult and Edgar-Jones play Ed and Kate, a recently married couple whose secrets begin to reveal as daily life chips away at the personas they present…all started by an intrusive mosquito. The ensemble cast of characters spans their work lives, home lives, and everywhere in between.
On Ed’s side, Kyle Soller plays Hunter, Ed’s half-brother, who doesn’t suffer fools, has given his life to the family business only to find he must share it with Ed; Phoebe Fox is Gail, their cousin, an anthropology PhD student and trusted co-worker; Francis Magee is Viktor, a longtime employee with a score to settle.
In Kate’s office, Belinda Bromilow is Agnes, Kate’s boss, with an apex predator’s instincts and a medieval court’s management style; John Macmillan plays Brian an effortlessly charming, quietly ruthless high-flyer; Liv Hill is Georgie, Kate’s cunning rival.
Akshay Khanna plays Will, Kate’s old university friend with Phoebe Campbell who plays his wife Cressida, a wealthy couple with more secrets than their marriage can comfortably hold. Bamshad Abedi Amin and Den Rasaq round out the cast as Gail’s PHD supervisor and another work rival for Kate respectively.”
