Huge news – Maddie joins the cast of James Wan’s untitled new horror movie . Congrats!! 🙂

DEADLINE – Maddie Hasson has joined the cast of James Wan’s untitled Atomic Monster Film (AKA Silvercup) in a key role.

She joins the current cast which includes Annabelle Wallis, Jake Abel and George Young. The pic reps a return for Wan to his indie horror/thriller roots. Pic’s storyline is under wraps. It will shoot in Los Angeles at the end of September, a recipient of the Independent California Film Rebate.

The project is being independently financed by Starlight Media and Midas Innovation, which is distributing in China. New Line, which has a long history with Wan on his Conjuring franchise and upcoming Mortal Kombat (which Wan is producing), will release the pic in the rest of the world. Wan is producing with Michael Clear with a story by Wan and Ingrid Bisu.

Hasson currently stars in Doug Liman’s critically-acclaimed, genre-bending YouTube Originals action/thriller series Impulse, which will return for a second season this fall. She also gave a memorable performance opposite Melissa Leo in the Sony Classics film Novitiate, and co-starred opposite Tom Hiddleston in the Sony Classics film I Saw The Light. Hasson made her feature debut in Bobcat Goldthwait’s God Bless America. She is represented by UTA and Coast to Coast Talent Group.

In the upcoming second season of Impulse, “Henry” Coles life suddenly changes when a traumatic event awakens within her a dangerous ability beyond her understanding and control: teleportation. With the help of her friends, Henry struggles to unravel the mystery of her powers. But they aren’t the only ones who have taken an interest in Henry’s situation, and the closer they come to the truth, the more dangerous things become. Can Henry keep her powers a secret, or will unlocking the truth mean endangering the people she loves?

Season 2 coming Fall 2019

The Doug Liman-produced series stars Maddie Hasson as a rebellious teen with a mysterious power.

YouTube wants more of Doug Liman’s Impulse.

The streamer has renewed the drama for a second season, it revealed on stage at Comic-Con on Thursday afternoon.

The series, which stars Maddie Hasson as rebellious teen Henry Cole who has a mysterious power, will return to YouTube’s subscription video service, Premium, with 10 new episodes in 2019. YouTube says that the pilot of the show, which is available for free on the service, has received 8 million views since its June 6 debut. YouTube does not reveal viewership numbers outside of the publicly available stats for its free episodes.

Impulse, which hails from Liman’s Hypnotic and Universal Cable Productions, is based on the Jumper universe novel by Steven Gould. The novel Jumper was the basis for Liman’s film of the same name. With Impulse he returned to the world as director and executive producer. David Bartis and Gene Klein also serve as executive producers for UCP. Lauren LeFrank is the showrunner and executive producer.

Joining Hasson to return for a second season are Impulse stars Missi Pyle, Sarah Desjardins, Enuka Okuma and Craig Arnold.

“This dramatic thriller has all of the right elements — with unexplained events and complex characters who drew us into their mysterious world right from the start,” said YouTube head of original content Susanne Daniels. “We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with Universal Cable Productions and the talented team at Hypnotic to create another intriguing season.”

Impulse was one of the first hourlong projects to come to YouTube Premium (previously YouTube Red). It is part of a growing slate of projects commissioned under Daniels that seek to bring a broader audience to the service, in addition to the young viewers who come for videos of their favorite YouTubers. Other YouTube Premium shows include Karate Kid spinoff Cobra Kai and Step Up: High Water. In the works are Jordan Peele-produced anthology Weird City, space-set Origin and a The Edge of Seventeen spinoff.
