The ensemble cast includes Sam Richardson ('Veep,' 'Detroiters'), Milana Vayntrub ('This Is Us'), George Basil ('Crashing'), Sarah Burns ('Barry'), Michael Chernus ('Tommy/CBS'), Catherine Curtin ('Orange Is The New Black'), Wayne Duvall ('The Hunt'), Harvey Guillén ('What We Do In The Shadows'), Rebecca Henderson ('Russian Doll'), Cheyenne Jackson ('30 Rock'), Michaela Watkins ('Brittany Runs A Marathon'), and Glenn Fleshler ('True Detective').

The film was produced by Jason Altman, Margaret Boykin, and Andrew Lieberman for Ubisoft Film & Television; Matt Miller, Natalie Metzger, and Benjamin Wiessner for Vanishing Angle; and Sam Richardson.

'We found a perfect home for our first independently produced feature with IFC,' said Jason Altman, Head of Ubisoft Film & Television. 'Their enthusiasm, taste, and strategy in a complicated marketplace continues to impress us, and we can't wait to bring this film to fans of the game and larger audiences alike.'

Arianna Bocco, President at IFC Films, said, ''Werewolves Within' is a wild and hilarious film adaptation of Ubisoft's genius original game concept and we are so thrilled to bring this entertaining whodunnit to audiences this summer. Josh Ruben who arrived with 'Scare Me,' has assembled an incredible cast to bring his newest vision to light, and we're sure it will leave audiences clutching their popcorn and howling from laughter.'

'The wonderful folks at IFC made it clear that they're fans of our film first,' added Josh Ruben. 'Which is great, because, surprise, we're fans of IFC. They're behind some of the most formative, groundbreaking films I've ever seen, so... I'm dreaming. This is a dream, right?'
