Lucien Laviscount (Emily in Paris) and Taylour Paige (I Love Boosters) are set to lead Tyler Perry’s Confabulation, a new Netflix thriller written and directed by Perry. Shamier Anderson (John Wick: Chapter 4) also joins the cast in a key role.
The film centers on a firefighter haunted by his past and struggling to separate reality from delusion, who risks everything to rescue his high school sweetheart from her powerful husband, only for the truth to unravel in a twist that questions what’s real and what’s confabulation.
Nadine Ellis, Peter Parros, Najah Bradley, Mikeal Dwayne Griggs, Jenna Nolen, Michelle Núñez, Colin McCalla, and Shelley Robertson round out the cast. Perry produces alongside Angi Bones and Tony L. Strickland.
Confabulation is the latest project out of Perry’s ongoing creative partnership with Netflix, where he writes, directs, and produces both film and television. His most recent film with the streamer, Why Did I Get Married Again, marked his tenth collaboration with Netflix and climbed to the #1 spot on the platform’s Global Top 10 Movies List in English during its second week of release after debuting in September.
Laviscount is best known for playing Alfie on Emily in Paris, which returns for its sixth and final season on Christmas Eve. He also recently starred in the streamer’s rom-com People We Meet on Vacation, based on the Emily Henry novel, which hit #1 in January, along with past roles in Katy Keene, Snatch, and Scream Queens.
Paige previously starred in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F for Netflix, and was most recently seen in Boots Riley’s I Love Boosters and HBO’s It: Welcome to Derry.
Anderson’s recent credits include Apple TV’s Invasion, John Wick: Chapter 4, and the title role in Hate the Player: The Ben Johnson Story.
Confabulation adds to a packed 2026 slate of Netflix projects from Perry, which also includes the drama film Doing Life, premiering October 2, the continuing series Beauty in Black, the Madea spin-off Joe’s College Road Trip, and the faith-based film Give Me Some Sugah, which Perry produces alongside DeVon Franklin.
