Premiering April 11, 2025, The Uninvited is a razor-sharp comedy about a party gone hilariously awry when an unexpected guest turns everything upside down. What begins as an ordinary gathering quickly spirals into a night of mistaken identities, shocking revelations, and life-changing encounters—all sparked by one mysterious stranger. Directed by Nicole Holofcener (Enough Said, Can You Ever Forgive Me?), this ensemble-driven farce promises witty dialogue, impeccable timing, and a stellar cast of comedy veterans and rising stars.
With a premise reminiscent of classic screwball comedies and a modern edge, The Uninvited explores how sometimes the most unplanned moments lead to the greatest transformations. Below, meet the brilliant actors bringing this chaotic soirée to life.
The Heart of The Uninvited: Cast
1- Elizabeth Reaser as Rose
Elizabeth Reaser (The Haunting of Hill House, Twilight) stars as Rose, the elegant but tightly wound hostess whose carefully planned evening unravels spectacularly. Known for her ability to balance drama with dry humor, Reaser is perfect as a woman whose polished facade begins to crack under the pressure of the night’s absurd events.
Rose’s journey—from control freak to embracing the chaos—will be both relatable and riotous, with Reaser’s signature charm making her the ideal anchor for the ensemble.
2- Walton Goggins as Sammy
Walton Goggins (The Righteous Gemstones, Justified) steals scenes as Sammy, the uninvited guest who sets the madness in motion. Goggins’ knack for playing charismatic oddballs shines here, as Sammy’s unpredictable energy throws the party into disarray. Is he a con artist, a lost soul, or just a guy who really knows how to stir the pot?
With his Southern charm and mischievous grin, Goggins ensures Sammy is the wild card you can’t help but root for—even as he turns everyone’s lives upside down.
3- Lois Smith as Helen
Lois Smith (Lady Bird, The French Dispatch), the legendary character actress, brings her trademark wit and warmth to Helen, the party’s sharp-tongued elder stateswoman. Whether doling out unsolicited advice or dropping truth bombs with a smile, Helen is the voice of reason (and occasional chaos) in the room.
At 93, Smith remains a master of comedic timing, and her scenes will undoubtedly be among the film’s most quotable.
4- Eva De Dominici as Delia
Eva De Dominici (The Cleaning Lady, Last Night in Soho) plays Delia, a glamorous guest with secrets to spare. De Dominici’s magnetic presence suggests Delia is more than just arm candy—she might be the smartest (and most dangerous) person at the party.
With a mix of allure and unpredictability, Delia could be Sammy’s partner-in-crime or his greatest obstacle. Either way, sparks will fly.
5- Rufus Sewell as Gerald
Rufus Sewell (The Diplomat, The Father) is Gerald, Rose’s exasperated husband who just wants one normal night—but instead gets dragged into the madness. Sewell’s ability to play uptight characters with a hint of vulnerability (A Knight’s Tale, Victoria) makes Gerald the perfect straight man to the surrounding chaos.
Watch as his patience wears thinner with each escalating disaster, culminating in a meltdown that’s equal parts hilarious and cathartic.
6- Pedro Pascal as Lucien
Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us, The Mandalorian) brings his effortless charm to Lucien, a smooth-talking acquaintance with dubious motives. Pascal’s natural charisma makes it impossible to tell if Lucien is a friend, a foe, or just here for the free drinks.
Given Pascal’s knack for balancing humor and intensity, Lucien might be the one to either save the night or burn it all down.
7- Roland Rubio as Wilder
Roland Rubio (The Bear, Abbott Elementary) rounds out the party as Wilder, the lovable mess who didn’t even mean to come but now won’t leave. Rubio’s background in improv comedy ensures Wilder’s antics will be spontaneous, awkward, and utterly endearing.
He’s the guy who spills wine on the rug, flirts with the wrong person, and somehow becomes the heart of the story.
8- Kate Comer as Tracy
Kate Comer (The Sex Lives of College Girls, Search Party) plays Tracy, the perpetually frazzled friend who’s seen it all but is still shocked by tonight. Comer’s expert delivery of deadpan one-liners will make Tracy the audience’s surrogate, reacting to the insanity with the perfect mix of horror and amusement.
Her escalating disbelief as the night spirals will be a comedy masterclass.
9- Michael Panes as Spirit Photographer
Michael Panes (Severance, The Good Fight) appears as the Spirit Photographer, a quirky interloper who may or may not be a fraud. Panes’ offbeat energy suggests this character could either expose the party’s secrets or add another layer of delightful weirdness.
Is he a plot device or just a red herring? Either way, he’ll be unforgettable.
10- Annie Korzen as Barbara
Annie Korzen (Seinfeld, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) lends her iconic comedic timing to Barbara, Helen’s equally sassy best friend. Korzen’s decades of experience in sitcoms ensure Barbara’s zingers will land with precision, making her the secret weapon of the party.
Her dynamic with Lois Smith will be pure gold.
11- Bobby Burkich as Bobby
Bobby Burkich (Barry, I Think You Should Leave) plays Bobby, the party’s resident wild card who might be too dumb to realize what’s happening—or might be playing everyone. Burkich’s background in absurdist comedy guarantees Bobby will be the wildest card in the deck.
His non sequiturs and bizarre antics will keep the energy unpredictable.
