But this time, it’s a TV series with a few new twists up its sleeve.

They then make one bad decision after another and decide to dump the body.

Cut to one year later, and suddenly someone starts killing them one by one.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How did this project come together?

SARA GOODMAN:It’s funny because everyone asks me, “What are my favorite horror movies?”

and “Did I always love horror?”

And I like horror, but I wouldn’t call myself a horror writer.

I like psychological tension.

It’s kind of where my sweet spot might be.

Was that the biggest challenge in balancing what people love while still making it feel fresh and different?

There weren’t cell phones.

And this is a very different platform.

I’m not interested in just doing a slasher for eight hours.

I think that would get very boring.

So it was really that balance.

But it’s for a new generation.

I love that one of the main characters is an influencer.

Just updating the story that way already changes it so much.

She’s doing an Instagram story when the accident happens.

What did you like about making this more of a familial story?

What’s so interesting about the story for me is: What is really going on with these kids?

Like when do you meet the parents?

Also, the parents are very messy and in my experience, parents are messy.

What was the process for casting Madison Iseman as the twins?

With Maddie, all those nuances were there.

And I just kept seeing these new pieces of her in everything she did.

I mean, the poor girl had to do a dance by herself on Zoom in the audition.

But once we started talking and working together, it was just so clear that she was it.

It was always just there.
