Carrie Coon & Lily James Join Oscar-Winning Director’s Cult Movie Harmonia

Emmy Award nominees Carrie Coon (The Gilded Age, The White Lotus) and Lily James (Pam and Tommy) have officially been tapped for the leading roles in the upcoming cult thriller movie Harmonia, as per Variety. which hails from Oscar-winning filmmaker Guy Nattiv (Golda). Their casting comes after Bleecker Street successfully acquired the U.S. rights to the movie, which is currently slated for a 2026 theatrical release.

The project is based on Nattiv’s grandmother’s experience with an insidious cult. Coon and James will be joining previously announced cast members Bella Ramsey (The Last of Us) and Odessa Young (Mothering Sunday). Nattiv will be directing from a screenplay he co-wrote with Noa Berman-Herzberg. Production is expected to begin this summer.

“Harmonia is born from the true story of my grandmother—a woman whose quiet strength and unspoken pain left an indelible mark on our family. For years, her story lived in the shadows, and now, at last, I’m giving it voice,” Nattiv said in a statement. “I couldn’t ask for more soulful collaborators than Carrie, Lily, Bella, and Odessa. Each of them brings a deep, intuitive grace to these layered characters, and their commitment to tell my story is tremendously moving.”

What is Harmonia about?

“Set in the 1980s, the film follows Rita (Coon), who while unraveling from past wounds, meets a radiant young spiritual leader (James) after a chance encounter. Following her into the all-female commune known as Harmonia, Rita leaves her life and family behind until her daughters, Ella (Ramsey), and Jo (Young), embark on a dangerous journey to rescue their mother,” reads the official synopsis. “Once immersed in the commune, they find themselves inexorably drawn into the leader’s labyrinthine web of pseudo-spiritual and psychological manipulation.”

Harmonia is produced by Julia Lebedev and Eddie Vaisman for Sight Unseen, Jaime Ray Newman and Nattiv for New Native Pictures, and Oren Moverman. Meanwhile, Leonid Lebedev will be serving as an executive producer. This marks Nattiv’s latest collaboration with Bleecker Street, after previously working together on 2023’s Golda.
