BAFTA Winner Jonsson Joins A24's Next Thriller

Director Halina Reijn is expanding the cast for her latest A24 film, 'Please,' by adding BAFTA Rising Star award winner David Jonsson. Jonsson, recognized in 2025 for his performances in 'Rye Lane' and 'Alien: Romulus,' will feature in Reijn's third project with A24. He joins the previously announced Gracie Abrams, who is making her acting debut, and actors Connor Storrie and Tom Burke.

While specific plot details for 'Please' remain undisclosed, Reijn will once again write and direct, following her successful ventures with the satirical slasher 'Bodies Bodies Bodies' and the erotic thriller 'Babygirl.' The latter achieved significant commercial success for A24, grossing $64 million globally. David Hinojosa is set to produce, marking his third collaboration with Reijn. A24 is producing and financing the film, with Zach Nutman serving as executive producer.

The addition of Jonsson signifies a notable step in his burgeoning career. He recently garnered acclaim for his role in the dystopian survival thriller 'The Long Walk' and led the prison thriller 'Wasteman.' Upcoming projects for Jonsson include 'Scandalous,' where he will portray Sammy Davis Jr., and 'Chaperones' alongside Cooper Hoffman. He is also slated to star in Frank Ocean's untitled directorial debut feature.
