Ariana DeBose is heading for the culinary world — with a twist. She’s signed on to play an ambitious chef in “House of Spoils,” a movie produced by Blumhouse and Prime Video.
Debose made the announcement on her Instagram, where she appropriately shared a photo of herself practicing her cooking skills.
Per Deadline, “House of Spoils” is based on an original idea and it follows an ambitious chef who, upon opening her first restaurant, “has to contend with the powerful spirit of the estate’s previous owner who threatens to sabotage her at every turn.” The series will be directed by Bridget Savage Cole and Danielle Krudy, who’ve previously worked on series like “Moonhaven” and “The Stand.”
“Since ‘Blow the Man Down,’ we have been huge fans of Bridget and Danielle’s unique filmmaking voice and knew we needed to be a part of whatever they wanted to do next,” said Julie Rapaport, head of movies at Amazon Studios. “Pairing their thrilling script with Ariana’s incredible talent is a dream come true, and we could not be more excited to bring this story to the screen and to our customers around the world.”
“New adventures. So excited to dive in with Danielle, Bridget, @primevideo, @blumhouse, & our incredible producing team,” wrote DeBose.
DeBose kicked this year off with a bang, winning an Academy Award for her earth-shaking performance as Anita in Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story.” She also starred in the third season of “Westworld.” In the near future, she is set to star in the Marvel film “Kraven the Hunter” and the action film “Argylle,” alongside a star-studded cast that includes Henry Cavill, Samuel L. Jackson, Bryce Dallas Howard, Dua Lipa and more.
