Peele is following his 2017 sensation with psychological horror Us, which is one of the most anticipated films of 2019.
Set in Northern California, the film stars Lupita Nyong’o as Adelaide Wilson, a woman returning to her beachside childhood home with her husband (Black Panther’s Winston Duke) and their two children for an idyllic summer getaway with friends (played by Elisabeth Moss, Tim Heidecker, Cali Sheldon and Noelle Sheldon).
The synopsis reads: "Haunted by an unexplainable and unresolved trauma from her past and compounded by a string of eerie coincidences, Adelaide feels her paranoia elevate to high-alert as she grows increasingly certain that something bad is going to befall her family. When darkness falls, the Wilsons discover the silhouette of four figures holding hands as they stand in the driveway – doppelgängers of themselves."
Get Out, which was one of 2017's most bankable films, earned Peele an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay earlier this year. The acclaimed film, which starred Daniel Kaluuya and Catherine Keener, was also nominated for Best Picture.
Us will be released in UK cinemas on 15 March 2019.
