Who Stars in Drop? Meet the Cast of the New Blumhouse Thriller
Meghann Fahy stars as a woman on the world's worst first date.
First dates and phones at the dinner table shouldn’t mix, but Drop, the new Blumhouse thriller, takes things to the next level. The film, which premieres on April 11, follows a recently widowed single mother as she decides to try dating again. When she meets up with her date at a swanky restaurant near the top of a skyscraper, she starts getting threatening messages AirDropped to her phone. The messenger demands that she kill her date, or else they’ll kill her son, who is back at home with the babysitter.
It’s a fun, tight concept for a thriller — and one that a great cast could really elevate. Ahead of Drop’s premiere in April, here’s everything you need to know about the revealed cast of the film, which was directed by Freaky and Happy Death Day’s Christopher Landon.
