Magnet’s acquisition adds yet another thrilling title to their impressive lineup, and their enthusiasm for the project is evident. "Bess Wohl shows how terrifying the pursuit of a 'perfect life' can be," observed Magnolia President Eamonn Bowles, a sentiment that brilliantly captures the essence of this edgy thriller.

'Baby Ruby', the directorial debut of acclaimed playwright Bess Wohl (Grand Horizons), tells the story of Jo, portrayed by Noémie Merlant, a French lifestyle entrepreneur on the cusp of motherhood. Despite the outward appearance of joy, Jo's world turns upside down as she grapples with strange happenings following her baby's arrival.

With a compelling script from Wohl herself, 'Baby Ruby' will showcase an ensemble cast including Meredith Hagner and Jayne Atkinson alongside Harington and Merlant. Producers Alex Saks, Lauren Beveridge, Brett Beveridge, and Jeffrey Penman have teamed up with Page Fifty-Four Pictures and Point Productions to deliver this much-anticipated thriller.
