Netflix has nabbed the nights to Stowaway, a new sci-fi thriller starring Anna Kendrick.

The film is the second feature from Penna and Morrison, the duo behind the Cannes Official Selection Arctic. Directed by Joe Penna and co-written by Penn and Ryan Morrison, the film follows a mission to Mars, during which an unintended stowaway accidentally causes severe damage to the spaceship’s life support systems.

Fresh from Disney+ Christmas film Noelle, Kendrick will lead a cast that includes Toni Collette (Hereditary), Daniel Dae Kim (Always Be My Maybe) and Shamier Anderson (Race, Destroyer).

The film was shot entirely in Germany at Bavaria Studios in Munich and at MMC Studios in Cologne, with VFX handled by RISE | Visual Effects Studios.
