Finn Wolfhard, best known for playing Mike Wheeler in the popular series Stranger Things, is stepping into a new role. He is set to make his directorial debut with an upcoming horror comedy titled Hell of a Summer, which has been acquired by Neon. Co-written and co-directed by Wolfhard and Billy Bryk, who also stars in Ghostbusters: Afterlife, the film takes place at Camp Pineway, where camp-goers and counselors are blissfully unaware of a masked killer lurking in the woods.
The release date for Hell of a Summer is scheduled for 2025, and it has already created a buzz following its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival. Critics have varying opinions about the movie, but it has gained attention for its talented young cast and its promise to bring a fresh perspective to the slasher genre.
In addition to his directorial debut, Wolfhard will be reprising his role in the highly anticipated fifth season of Stranger Things, which is also set to be released in 2025.
