Los Angeles, Jul 23 (PTI) - Cristin Milioti, known for her standout role in "The Penguin", will be taking the lead in a new independent horror thriller titled "Buddy". Fresh off an Emmy nomination for her portrayal of Sofia Falcone in HBO's "The Penguin", Milioti is set to dive into the mysterious world of "Buddy", directed by Casper Kelly.

While specific details about the plot are currently being kept confidential, it's being teased as a “new experience in horror” by The Hollywood Reporter. The screenplay was co-written by Kelly and Jamie King, known for the family-friendly narrative in Disney+'s "World’s Best".
The film's production is being handled by J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures, alongside Tyler Davidson and Drew Sykes from Low Spark Films. Milioti's impressive performances have been a constant in her career, having also earned nominations for both a Golden Globe and SAG Award, and winning a Critics Choice Award for best actress in a limited series for her role in "The Penguin".
