Chlöe Bailey, Coco Jones & The Cast Of ‘Strung’ Spill On Peacock’s Wildest Thriller Yet And The Ending You Won’t See Coming [Exclusive Video]

If there’s one thing we love, it’s a movie that makes us yell, “Girl, LEAVE!” at the screen. But Peacock’s Strung isn’t your average psychological thriller.

Premiering June 26 on Peacock, the new psychological thriller marks a chilling genre pivot for director Malcolm D. Lee, who trades romantic comedies for razor-sharp suspense in a film that’s equal parts glamorous, unsettling and impossible to predict.

“I love a good suspense thriller and a solid narrative that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats,” Lee explained. “The countless times I reacted out loud while reading the script’s twists and turns motivated me to put my own stamp on this evergreen genre.”

Produced by Tyler Perry and Jason Blum, Strung follows Layla (Chloe Bailey), a gifted violinist whose dream tutoring job for an affluent Los Angeles family quickly spirals into something far more sinister as dark secrets begin to unravel.

Ahead of the film’s premiere, MadameNoire‘s Managing Editor Danica Daniel sat down with Malcolm D. Lee and stars Chloe Bailey, Lynn Whitfield, Coco Jones, and Lucien Laviscount to talk red flags, surviving psychological thrillers, the craziest things they’ve done for a paycheck, and why Strung will have audiences convinced they’ve figured it all out…right before the rug gets pulled from under them.

“I don’t think the audiences are going to see what’s coming,” Lee teased. “We’re saying, ‘Look at this, look at this, look at this…’ and then—bam!”

The conversation quickly spiraled into everything from Lucien admitting he likes to “dabble in things I probably shouldn’t,” to Lynn Whitfield’s wisdom about listening to your intuition, Coco Jones revealing she once jumped out of a plane for YouTube, and an unexpected debate about whether my dog should start an Only Paws account.

In other words? Exactly the kind of chaotic, hilarious energy you’d hope for from one of the summer’s most stylish casts—before Strung leaves you questioning everything you thought you knew.

Watch our full interview above, then be sure to stream Strung when it premieres exclusively on Peacock on June 26. Just don’t say we didn’t warn you.
