Dylan Brady to Pen Nanny Thriller 'Discretion' Inspired by 'Fatal Attraction'
An actor named Dylan Brady, who you might have seen in 'Andor,' is also a writer.
He has a new TV show idea called 'Discretion' that's being made by a company called Kudos.
This show is about a young man who takes a job as a nanny for a rich Hollywood couple.
He wants to trick them to get ahead in his acting career, but he falls into a trap instead.
Dylan was inspired by movies like 'Fatal Attraction' but wanted to tell the story differently, focusing on a gay perspective.
He's also working on another show based on a book about a detective and has made a short film called 'ANON' about a taxi driver.
Actor and writer Dylan Brady has his TV series script 'Discretion' picked up for development by Kudos.
'Discretion' is inspired by 'Fatal Attraction' and other thrillers but offers a queer perspective, focusing on a struggling actor who gets caught in a trap while nannying for a powerful couple.
Brady is also collaborating with Kudos to adapt Charlotte Vassell's novel 'The Other Half' into a 'Gen Z cop show' for the BBC.
His recent work includes writing an episode of Netflix's 'Everything Now' and mentoring through the BFI Flare x BAFTA Cohort scheme.
Brady's self-funded short film, 'ANON,' starring Con O'Neill, is set to be released soon and was filmed in Derby.
