For a while now, Jodie Comer has spoken of her hopes of getting to appear in a musical.

The multi-award-winning star of Killing Eve (2018-22), The Last Duel (2021), and 28 Years Later (2025) is finally getting the chance to show off her vocal cords after landing a new role in the upcoming horror-musical-romance Stuffed.

The plot centres on Araminta, a brooding taxidermist whose secret ambition is to stuff a human specimen. When she meets Bernie, a lonely man so afraid of being forgotten that he volunteers himself, their pact unexpectedly evolves into a haunting romance.

Jodie will star alongside Harry Melling who is best known for his roles as Dudley Dursley in the Harry Potter series (2001-11) and as Harry Beltik in The Queen’s Gambit (2020).

The film is based on the BAFTA-nominated 2021 short by Theo Rhys, and will mark his feature debut as writer and director.

Filming is due to begin in South Wales later this month.
