Cineverse has acquired reality star Jenni “JWoww” Farley’s “Devon,” which will premiere exclusively on the company’s Screambox streaming service.
The film follows a group of friends trying to find out the truth about an unsolved disappearance but end up at the center of a terrifying mystery. According to the official plot: “After their daughter’s mysterious disappearance, Devon’s parents never stop searching for the truth. After the asylum she disappeared from was condemned, their questions seemed like they would remain unanswered forever. Years later, a mysterious website recruits five brave individuals to explore the abandoned asylum and discover what happened to the girl. Unaware that they are embarking on a perilous one-way journey, these individuals delve into the sinister depths with only their gear, leading to a terrifying and deadly experience.”
“I am thrilled to be diving into the horror space alongside Cineverse and Screambox, who have the industry and fan knowledge to ensure ‘Devon’ reaches the right audience,” Farley said in a statement. “As a reality TV veteran, I am excited to embark on this new chapter in the horror genre and hope that ‘Devon’ is just the beginning.”
Farley is best known for her appearances on the television series “Jersey Shore” and its spin-off series “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.” The next season of “Family Vacation” is scheduled to premiere later this year.
North American rights to Devon were negotiated between acquisitions executive Brandon Hill and Farley.
Devon is set to premiere on Screambox on November 12.
