British actors Nicholas Hoult and Daisy Edgar-Jones are set to headline ‘Mosquito’, an upcoming comedy series from Disney+, bringing together two of the most recognisable young talents in contemporary film and television.
The development was first reported by PTI, confirming that the series will mark another collaboration between Hoult and acclaimed writer Tony McNamara. McNamara previously worked with the actor on Yorgos Lanthimos’ award-winning film The Favourite and the hit series ‘The Great’, both of which earned Hoult critical appreciation for his sharp comedic timing.
‘Mosquito’ is positioned as a “sardonic look at a young couple’s relationship”, signalling McNamara’s signature blend of wit, dark humour, and character-driven storytelling. With Hoult’s established rapport with the writer and Edgar-Jones’ growing reputation—from ‘Normal People’ to ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’—the pairing has already generated considerable interest.
The series adds another high-profile project to Disney+’s slate as the platform continues to strengthen its lineup with premium international content. Further details on production timelines, additional cast, or release dates are yet to be announced, but industry watchers expect the show to carry the same razor-sharp energy that defines McNamara’s earlier work.
Fans of both actors and followers of offbeat relationship comedies will be looking closely at how this new series shapes up, especially with a creative team known for delivering layered humour and emotionally complex characters.
