The Haunting of Hill House's Victoria Pedretti and Riverdale star Lili Reinhart are set to play bitchy, witchy types in Forbidden Fruits, a new supernatural horror that sounds like The Craft meets Mallrats.
Based on Lily Houghton's play, Of the Women Came the Beginning of Sin, and Through Her We All Die, the movie centers on Free Eden employees Apple, Cherry, and Fig, a group of right-on, feminist spellcasters who operate out of their shop's basement after hours. But when new girl Pumpkin starts questioning their sisterhood, the fruits – as they so dub themselves – "are forced to face their own poisons or succumb to a bloody fate".

"I'm so grateful to have found a home for Forbidden Fruits with IFC Films, a studio who continually encourages filmmakers to experiment, hone their voice, and play within the medium. IFC Films has produced and distributed so many films that have directly inspired me over the years," Alloway said in a statement. "The team has gifted me creative freedom and support in every step of the process, down to advocating for a theatrical release – a true gift to any filmmaker. This cast of incredible artists has exceeded my wildest expectations. As a true fan of all of their work, it's an absolute thrill to see them bring these characters to life. I can't wait for the world to see the way they shine through Forbidden Fruits."
"We are thrilled to join forces with the creative minds behind Forbidden Fruits. Meredith Alloway and Lily Houghton delivered a bewitching script that struck us as a project we felt deeply compelled to onboard early and ensure a theatrical release. With one of the brightest and most hotly anticipated cast line ups, Forbidden Fruits is gearing up to be a must see in 2026," Head of AMC Networks' Films Group Scott Shooman said.
