Fans of Mckenna Grace have plenty to be excited about, as the prolific young star continues her busy streak with a lead role in the newly announced survival thriller, The Nowhere Game. Backed by Erik Feig’s Picturestart, the film places Grace alongside Kiernan Shipka (The Last Showgirl) under the direction of David Charbonier and Justin Douglas Powell (The Djinn).
Grace will portray Carin, one of two young women who find themselves kidnapped and hunted in a macabre “game” orchestrated by a cold-blooded sadist. With an online audience watching their every move, Carin and her friend Allie (Shipka) must navigate a hostile forest with scarce resources. As they piece together clues left by former captives, the grim realities of their situation—and the stakes—become terrifyingly clear. In true cinematic survival-story fashion, the real question isn’t whether Carin and Allie can outrun their captor, but if they can transform from prey into hunters themselves.
Here at Trevor Decker News, we’ve followed Mckenna Grace’s career extensively, from her breakout roles in films like Gifted to her more recent turns in high-profile franchises. Her ability to balance emotional depth with fierce determination makes her a standout in just about every project she tackles. While she’s no stranger to intense scripts—think her acclaimed performances in The Handmaid’s Tale and her upcoming role in Scream 7—The Nowhere Game promises to test Grace’s dramatic and physical limits in fresh ways.
The new project follows closely on the heels of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, where Grace reprised her role in the iconic supernatural comedy franchise. But unlike the humor and family-friendly tone of Ghostbusters, The Nowhere Game veers firmly into thriller territory, offering a darker, more visceral challenge for the young actor. Fans should look forward to witnessing her range, as she steps into an environment where survival depends on every decision—and there’s no safety net in sight.
No release date has been announced just yet, but there is already significant buzz around the script by Alex Pototsky, which earned a spot on the 2023 Black List. With Picturestart at the helm—and Grace’s proven ability to captivate audiences—The Nowhere Game looks poised to be another intriguing addition to her rapidly expanding résumé.
