Mosquito Adds Ten to Its Cast as UK Filming Begins
Ten more actors have joined the cast of Mosquito, the Hulu comedy starring Nicholas Hoult and Daisy Edgar-Jones, as principal photography, the main shoot where most of the footage is filmed, gets underway in the UK. Deadline reported the casting on 10 November 2026.
The show is a six-part dramedy, meaning a series that mixes drama and comedy. Its premise is a marriage, secrets and an intrusive mosquito. Hoult and Edgar-Jones play Ed and Kate, a recently married couple.
The new names fill out the rest of the ensemble, the group of supporting actors around the leads. Kyle Soller plays Hunter, Ed's half-brother. Phoebe Fox plays Gail, Ed and Hunter's cousin, who is an anthropology PhD student. Bamshad Abedi Amin plays Gail's PhD supervisor.
Kate's working life gets its own cast. Belinda Bromilow plays Agnes, Kate's boss. Liv Hill plays Georgie, described as Kate's cunning rival, and Den Rasaq plays another work rival for Kate. Frances Magee plays Viktor, a longtime employee, and John Macmillan plays Brian.
Akshay Khanna plays Will, and Phoebe Campbell plays his wife, Cressida. Both join the cast alongside Soller, Fox, Macmillan, Bromilow, Hill, Magee, Amin and Rasaq.
Tony McNamara, the Oscar-nominated writer behind The Great and Poor Things, is the creator. He also executive produces with Hoult, Edgar-Jones, Marian Macgowan, Tracy Underwood and Daniel Pipski. Matthew Moore directs all six episodes.
The series is made by 20th Television, Piggy Ate Roast Beef Productions and Hustle & Punch. It will stream on Disney+ worldwide, and on both Disney+ and Hulu in the U.S.
For viewers, the news is the cast list and the location. Filming in the UK means a full production crew, from camera teams to set builders, is now working on the six episodes. Once the shoot wraps, the series moves into editing before its streaming launch, though no release date was given in the announcement.
