After melting hearts worldwide as the smoldering Duke of Hastings in Bridgerton Season 1 and showing off his steelier side as a no-nonsense CIA operative in The Grey Man, Regé-Jean Page is officially headed back to Netflix. But don’t expect old-school romance or covert spy missions this time around. Page’s next act is something darker, sexier, and far more dangerous.
The Emmy-nominated star will headline and executive produce Hancock Park, an erotic thriller currently in development at the streamer. Instead of dukedom or international espionage, Page steps into a new kind of royalty — a man whose place within Los Angeles high society is more fragile than it appears. And in true thriller fashion, every perfect façade is hiding something messy underneath.
Page’s involvement alone guarantees buzz, but the creative team behind the series makes this an even more intriguing move. If Bridgerton was the romantic fantasy world that made him a global star, Hancock Park looks like the kind of sharp, tension-filled character study that lets him rewrite expectations altogether.
A Dark, Seductive Story Set in One of L.A.’s Most Exclusive Neighborhoods
Hancock Park centers on a seemingly flawless, wealthy Los Angeles family living in one of the city’s most coveted enclaves — the kind of classic, old-money neighborhood where everyone waves politely but keeps their secrets locked behind pristine hedges.
Enter the outsider.
The series follows a dangerously charismatic stranger who rents the family’s backyard guest house, slipping into their lives with disarming ease. But the more he embeds himself into their world, the more the picture-perfect veneer of Hancock Park begins to crack. Beneath the wealth and charm lurk desire, deceit, obsession, and power struggles strong enough to shatter reputations — and relationships.
If the premise calls to mind thrillers like You, Fatal Attraction, or even The Talented Mr. Ripley, you’re not far off. But creators promise Hancock Park will bring its own tone and bite, blending classic erotic-thriller tension with a modern exploration of class, image, and the seductive pull of outsider influence.
And with Page at the center? Expect slow-burn chemistry, stylish danger, and a character who knows exactly how powerful it is to be watched.
A Stacked Creative Team Behind the Scenes
The intrigue doesn’t stop with the plot. The creative lineup signals Netflix is going for prestige-level tension here.
The series comes from writer Matthew Barry, whose credits include The Guest, Industry, and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina — all projects known for sharp writing, atmospheric tension, and complex characters hiding sharp edges. Barry’s style feels like an ideal match for a story built on secrets, seduction, and slow unraveling.
Page will executive produce through his company A Mighty Stranger, reinforcing his growing role behind the camera. He’s joined by A Mighty Stranger’s Emily Brown (The Count of Monte Cristo, Funny You Should Ask) and Drew Comins, whose producing credits include Yellowjackets and All the Old Knives. If you’ve watched Yellowjackets, you know Comins is no stranger to stories built on suspense, psychological unraveling, and moral ambiguity.
That combination — Page’s charisma, Barry’s writing, and Comins’ thriller pedigree — hints that Hancock Park is aiming to be one of Netflix’s buzziest dramas of its release year.
Who’s Starring in Hancock Park?
For now, Regé-Jean Page is the only confirmed cast member, marking his return to Netflix after becoming one of the streamer’s most recognizable breakout stars. Following Bridgerton, he went on to appear in Dungeons & Dragons, Black Bag, and the upcoming film You, Me & Tuscany.
More cast announcements are expected, and given the show’s genre — interpersonal mind games, erotic tension, and high-society drama — expect a mix of rising stars and heavy hitters. The dynamic between Page’s character and the central family will likely be the heartbeat of the show.
When Will Hancock Park Premiere?
The series is still in development, so Netflix hasn’t released a premiere date. But with the announcement now public and production expected to ramp up soon, fans should keep an eye out for casting updates, first-look images, and—if we’re lucky—a teaser that sets the tone for the glossy unraveling ahead.
Until then, one thing’s clear: Regé-Jean Page is stepping into a role that’s worlds away from the Duke of Hastings, and Hancock Park is shaping up to be a seductive, stylish thriller that could mark a whole new chapter in his Netflix legacy.
