While plot details have been kept from the public, a short plotline on IMDb describes the film as a “social horror-thriller”. Peele had earlier spoken about his next project with The Hollywood Reporter: “One thing I know is that this is genre; and playing around with the thriller, horror, action, fun genre of intrigue is my favourite. That’s my sweet spot. So I think tonally it should resemble Get Out. That said, I want to make a completely different movie. I want to address something different than race in the next one.” Peele previously directed Get Out which centered on an inter-racial relationship between a black American man and his white partner. The film was a satire on racism and critically lauded. Peele who scripted the film won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay . (With inputs from Indo-Asian News Service)
