Production on Film4-backed Foxfinder, a tense and darkly comic satirical thriller starring Tessa Thompson, Owen Cooper and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, will begin this summer.

Production is set to begin this summer on Film4-backed psychological thriller Foxfinder, the darkly comic and satirical thriller from acclaimed director Aoife McArdle.

Foxfinder will follow Jude and Sam, a grieving couple clinging to routine and survival, whose lives are upended when William, a coldly devout government “foxfinder,” arrives at their struggling farm with a mission to root out the designated enemy – the fox. As paranoia festers and absurd regulations tighten their grip, suspicion replaces love, and truth itself begins to warp.

Starring Tessa Thompson, Owen Cooper and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Foxfinder is adapted from Dawn King’s award-winning play and marks McArdle’s highly anticipated second feature.

Farhana Bhula, Director of Film4, said:
“Supporting Aoife on her second feature alongside her dedicated producers has been a priority for Film4. She’s an exceptional filmmaker of remarkable precision and imagination. Foxfinder speaks powerfully to our current moment, and we’re thrilled to see it brought to life by such an extraordinary cast.”
