Nicholas Hoult, Daisy Edgar-Jones to Star in Disney+/Hulu Comedy

Nicholas Hoult (Superman, Nosferatu) and Daisy Edgar-Jones (Normal People, Twisters) are set to star in Mosquito, a comedy from screenwriter Tony McNamara (The Great, Poor Things) for Disney+ and Hulu.

Hoult and Edgar-Jones will play a recently married couple whose secrets begin to reveal as daily life chips away at the personas they present—all started by an intrusive mosquito.

Mosquito is being produced by 20th Television, Piggy Ate Roast Beef Productions and Hustle & Punch and is executive produced by McNamara, Hoult, Edgar-Jones, Marian Macgowan, Tracy Underwood and Daniel Pipski. It will premiere in 2026 on Disney+ and Hulu globally.

The six-episode series marks the reunion of McNamara and Hoult following The Great, which garnered multiple award nominations.

“I’m thrilled and excited to work with and team up two of the best actors around,” McNamara said. “I can’t wait to go make absurd comedy with them.”

Eric Schrier, president of Disney Television Studios and global original television strategy at The Walt Disney Company, and Angela Jain, head of content for Disney+ EMEA, said, “Tony is one of the most talented writers working in film and television today, with a legacy of incredible success at Disney. He has an unmatched ability to bring fascinating and complex stories to life, weaving sharply written, intricate dialogue with signature dark humor and complexity. Partnering with him on Mosquito is an incredible step forward for our local original content and reinforces our ambitions in the U.K.”
