Cedric Joe (Women of the Movement) and Zaria (Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin) have been cast in The All-Nighter, an upcoming coming-of-age adventure-horror film that blends summer nostalgia with high-stakes mystery. The project, which recently wrapped filming and is now in post-production, aims for a summer 2026 release.
They join a stacked ensemble that includes Austin North (Outer Banks), Brady Hepner (The Holdovers), Danielle Rose Russell (Legacies), Pedro Henrique (The Bear), Emily Tosta (Mayans M.C.), and Rob Raco (Riverdale). Also appearing in the film are Happy Anderson (Mindhunter), Maximo Salas (Runarounds), Juliette Audrey (He’s Watching), and Rosie McDonald (Happy Gilmore 2).
Set on the final night at Camp Redwood in the summer of 2003, the story follows the oldest campers as they embark on an all-night treasure hunt they’ve anticipated for years. But when beloved counselors start disappearing for real, the “game” shifts into something far more dangerous—forcing the kids to protect their camp, their friendships, and the last pieces of their childhood.
The All-Nighter marks the feature directorial debut of Burton Chaikin of BHC Films. Chaikin drew inspiration from his own summers at overnight camp. Production took place in late summer in upstate New York. Chaikin previously worked as an associate producer on CBS’ The Late Show With James Corden from 2016–2023 and has built a portfolio of shorts leading up to his first feature. The script is penned by Kyle Anderson.
The film is produced by Chaikin, Anthony Ramón Soto of Casavia Productions, Rachel Sacks of Waverly Road, and Leo Milano and Brent Madison of Bad Little Thing.
