The story, written by Chad Hayes & Carey Hayes, is based on Henry James' novella Turn of the Screw. It centers on a young woman who starts to work at a wealthy estate that she soon realizes is haunted. She believes that the children may be possessed and begins to fear for her life. Woodard will play a woman who works at the mansion.

Scott Bernstein, Roy Lee and John Middleton are producing the project.

Woodard’s recent film credits include Mississippi Grind and Captain America: Civil War. She’ll next be seen in the Netflix series Luke Cage and the Netflix film Burning Sands. Plus, she's currently shooting Netflix's upcoming series A Series of Unfortunate Events. She’s repped by ICM Partners, Circle of Confusion and Gochman Law Group.
