Dynevor broke out with her role as Daphne Bridgerton in the Netflix drama series ‘Bridgerton’

Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor will feature alongside Hollywood star Jake Gyllenhaal in filmmaker M Night Shyamalan's next directorial.

The project is a supernatural romantic thriller, based on an original story co-created by Shyamalan and bestselling novelist Nicholas Sparks, reported entertainment news outlet Deadline.

Shyamalan and Sparks are independently creating a screenplay and a novel, respectively, both inspired by the same original love story. Each project will feature the same core concept and characters, but will be uniquely adapted to suit its medium.

The details of the plot as well as the characters have been kept under wraps. Shyamalan and Ashwin Rajan will produce through Blinding Edge Pictures, alongside Sparks’ longtime producing partner Theresa Park and Marc Bienstock.

Dynevor broke out with her role as Daphne Bridgerton in the Netflix drama series Bridgerton. The 29-year-old actor, also known for projects such as The Colour Room, Fair Play and Bank of Dave, was most recently seen in Inheritance.
