David Lynch-executive produced psychological thriller “Hyena” is moving toward production with a new cast lineup and a scheduled start date in early 2027. The project is described as one of Lynch’s final film projects as executive producer, and it previously circulated with a different set of leads.
Variety, Deadline, and ComingSoon.net all report that Kiernan Shipka and D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai are now attached as starring leads, alongside Edgar Ramírez and Rosemarie DeWitt. Deadline and ComingSoon.net frame the update as replacements for earlier announced leads, reflecting a shift in who is set to star.
Across the coverage, the most consistent additional detail is the timing: Deadline specifies a Q1 2027 start, while the other outlets also indicate a production start date as the project heads into industry attention. The outlets differ mainly in which cast members they foreground and how much context they provide about Lynch’s involvement and the project’s development stage.
