Carolyn Kepness, author of the You series that inspired Netflix's global hit, has assembled a stellar cast for her series directorial debut.

Kathryn Mullen-Kupferer, Audrey Grace Marshall, Dean Norris and Jordan Ladd will star in "Attention," a digital-first project that combines elements of a '90s family drama and a psychological thriller.

According to the official description, Kupferer and Marshall will play sisters Mayo and Reg, whose sibling dynamic is "gloriously chaotic." The two actors recently co-starred in "Mouse," a Berlin Film Festival opener starring Sophie Okundo and David Hyde Pierce.

Norris (a fan favorite from "Breaking Bad") and Ladd (an eminent scream queen) play their parents. Norris' character is Tony Soprano minus the mafia, while Ladd plays a mother who doesn't know her daughters are opening up. Popular in Variety

"The Attention One" is set in a 1990s neighborhood on Cape Cod, where the coastal elite live alongside seasonal summer residents. The story begins when 14-year-old Mayo and her older sister, Reg, begin a secret phone romance with a boy from the local yacht club who promises to be a way into Cape Cod's upper class. But when the phone's ringing fades to darkness, Mio continues to listen, drawing her family further into a monstrous mystery.

Kepnes is the writer and director of "Attentionist". Roberts Media's Mark Roberts ("Meet Me Next Christmas") and Lorena David ("Strangers With Candy") are producing. The project, which will be filmed on location on Cape Cod, is set to be released on YouTube.

"The heart of this story is a complete genre contradiction. One minute it's a cheesy '90s family comedy by the ocean, and the next it descends into raw psychological horror," Capness said. To do that, I needed a family that felt completely real and delightfully chaotic. "Watching Dean, Jordan, Kathryn and Audrey bring these dynamics to life as an unseen terror creeps into their lives is everything I hope it will be."

The release date for "attentionist" has not yet been determined.
