Damian Lewis (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), Jess Alexander (Primate), Adrian Rawlins(“Chernobyl”), and Will Keen (“His Dark Materials”) have joined Nicholas Galitzine (Masters of the Universe) and Ella Purnell (“Fallout”) in The Return of Stanley Atwell.

Written and directed by Brian Welsh (“Black Mirror”), The Return of Stanley Atwell is based on an original story by Steven Soderbergh (Contagion, Ocean’s Eleven), who also serves as executive producer.

In the film, Stanley Atwell (Galitzine), the presumed dead son and heir to Lord Atwell’s title and fortune, unexpectedly returns to the family estate having escaped a decade of mysterious captivity.

Atwell’s shocking reappearance causes chaos as he finds his sister Beatrice fighting to claim his inheritance, whilst close friend Pamela (Purnell) manipulates his puzzling return, and a dark family secret, in a bid to seize control of the Atwell fortune.

Sex, passion, backstabbing, and betrayal wreak havoc across the estate as the lies and deception the Atwell name has been built upon start to unravel. How far is each family member willing to go to protect their own wealth and status… and what is really behind the return of Stanley Atwell?

Liza Marshall (Hamnet) of Hera Pictures and John Gore of John Gore Studios produce. Soderbergh executive produces with Hilary Strong and Francis Hopkinson, alongside Protagonist Pictures.

Protagonist is handling international sales, with WME Independent co-repping US rights.
