Deadline reports that Jocelin Donahue (House of the Devil) has joined the cast of Doctor Sleep, based on the Stephen King novel from 2013. The book was a sequel to 1977’s The Shining. It is written and directed by Mike Flanagan (Gerald’s Game) and stars Ewan McGregor, Rebecca Ferguson, Bruce Greenwood, Kyliegh Curran, Carl Lumbly, Alex Essoe and Zahn McClarnon. Trevor Macy and Jon Berg will produce.

The film follows a grown up Danny Torrance from The Shining, who is now in his 40s and dealing with the same anger and alcoholism that ruined his father. Ferguson plays Rose the Hat, the leader of a cult that feeds on the “steam” produced by young people with the gift of the shining, while Curran plays Abra Stone, a girl who has it and meets Danny.
