Freddie Prinze Jr. has joined the cast of Killing Time, a home-invasion thriller about fugitives who pick the wrong house to hide in. The fugitives end up in the wrong living room, where an affluent married couple has secrets of its own.

A November 5, 2026 logline describes the fugitives as a couple fleeing a bank robbery and murder spree. The film draws on the marital conflict of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? as danger closes in inside the couple’s home.

Producer Linda Duncombe said, “You get these breadcrumbs, and just when it all kind of comes together, there’s a twist.” Duncombe died October 11, 2026, and Killing Time was identified as her final production.

Quiver Distribution plans a North American release in 2027. An exact date hasn’t been announced.

Director Joshua Friedman said Prinze, Shelley Hennig, Sasha Pieterse and William Moseley bring “charm, menace, and the ability to turn on a dime.” He described their confrontation this way: “Watching them go at each other across a living room was the whole movie.”
