The movie, based on an original concept, is penned and directed by Celine Held & Logan George and was previously titled *The Vanishings at Caddo Lake*.

The project has been in development for some time, with initial news emerging in 2021.
Held and George previously directed the drama *Topside*, which centers around a mother and her five-year-old daughter living in the abandoned subway tunnels of New York City.
In addition to O’Brien, famed for his roles in *Teen Wolf* and *The Maze Runner*, and Scanlen, known for collaborating with Shyamalan on *Old*, the *Caddo Lake* cast features Diana Hopper, Caroline Falk, Sam Hennings, Eric Lange, and *Yellowjackets* star Lauren Ambrose. After a prolonged wait, the film is finally set to reach audiences on streaming just in time for Halloween.
