Kurt Sutter, the creator of the Sons of Anarchy and also Mayans M.C., will make his feature film directorial debut with Netflix and Blumhouse’s This Beast.
Sutter writes, directs, and also produces the film based on The Beast of Gévaudan, the true story of a mysterious beast that attacked a French village in the 1760s.
Sutter says: “Bringing my disturbing, familial story sensibility to the Blumhouse world seemed like something that had to happen. And this is the perfect project for that marriage. And Netflix is the perfect venue for that bloody ceremony.”

Producer Jason Blum added: “We’ve long been fans of Kurt and his unparalleled storytelling — that’s both visceral and packs an emotional punch. We’re excited that Blumhouse is producing his first feature for Netflix.”
Blum and Carla Hacken produce. Chris McCumber and Jeremy Gold exec produce.
Here’s the synopsis: A mysterious and elusive beast besieges an 18th century English village. Dozens of innocents are slaughtered and the mayhem is driven to puritanical heights by religious fanaticism. The impossible task of killing the beast falls to a lowly trapper who promises he can stop the carnage. But for him this hunt is not a professional mission, it’s also a deeply personal one.
