Producer JoJo Ryder (“The Purge”) is headed into the director’s chair for the upcoming horror-thriller The Lesson, and Rosario Dawson has signed on to star this week.
Deadline reports that Tiffany Haddish will also star in The Lesson.
In The Lesson, “a teacher’s death sets off a chain of disturbing events that begin to haunt his former students. As unsettling incidents escalate, long-buried secrets and unresolved guilt resurface, forcing the group to confront a past they believed was safely behind them.”
In addition to directing the feature, JoJo Ryder also wrote the screenplay.
Ryder said in a statement, “I’m thrilled to have Tiffany and Rosario join The Lesson. They bring intensity, range, and a fearless presence that elevates every scene. This story demands emotional depth as much as suspense, and they deliver both.”
Tiffany Haddish previews, “What drew me to The Lesson was how layered it is. It’s not just horror — it’s about choices, consequences, and the things we think we can walk away from. Audiences are in for something unexpected.” Rosario Dawson adds, “I’m excited about the project, looking forward to be working with Tiffany and JoJo.”
