What else do we know about The Young People?
Plot details are being kept under wraps at this time; although, Neon does describe the project as “a bad trip by Osgood Perkins,” suggesting this one could have some strange, possibly psychedelic imagery.
Neon also previously shared a picture of the script for The Young People. While it doesn’t give away too much, the line that is visible, which comes from page 76, reads, “One of The Old Ones steps forwards, drops its robe to reveal…”
Perkins, who is the son of Psycho actor Anthony Perkins, made his feature film directorial debut in 2015 with The Blackcoat’s Daughter. Prior to that, he appeared as an actor in a handful of projects, including 1983’s Psycho II, 1993’s Six Degrees of Separation, 2001’s Legally Blonde, 2022’s Secretary, 2009’s Star Trek, and more.
Following The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Perkins directed 2016’s I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House, 2020’s Gretel & Hansel, 2024’s Longlegs, and, most recently, 2025’s The Monkey. He’s also got another horror movie coming out next month titled Keeper, which stars Tatiana Maslany and Rossif Sutherland. That film, per Deadline, “follows a couple as they escape for a romantic anniversary weekend at a secluded cabin. When Malcolm (Sutherland) suddenly returns to the city, Liz (Maslany) finds herself isolated and in the presence of an unspeakable evil that unveils the cabin’s horrifying secrets.”
The Young People will be released in United States theaters in 2026 from Neon.
