If you're still reeling after that Stranger Things series finale, and you're already missing Steve Harrington, don't worry: you can see Joe Keery in a brand new movie called Cold Storage! While the entire cast of the sci-fi series brings something special and unique to the table, I’ve always been particularly fond of Joe Keery’s on-screen presence due to his effortless ability to blend humor and emotion into one role. The actor has some of the best comedic timing I’ve ever seen, making him the perfect choice for the upcoming comedy-horror film.


Here’s everything you need to know about Cold Storage, from plot details to the release date and more.

Adapted from David Koepp’s 2019 sci-fi thriller of the same name, Cold Storage takes a fascinating (albeit rather gross) look at what happens when a disgusting fungus threatens to overtake humanity as we know it and end our world. Now, two night shift workers (Joe Keery and Georgina Campbell) have to figure out how to save the world before the virus washes off society as we know it.

Aside from the beloved Stranger Things actor, the movie features a rich ensemble cast, including Liam Neeson, fresh off his success with the Naked Gun reboot, and Georgina Campbell.

The screenplay is by Koepp himself, who also wrote Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible, and Spider-Man, among others. With such an impressive resume, Cold Storage is bound to be a hit.

Here's a breakdown of the Cold Storage cast:

  • Georgina Campbell as Naomi Williams
  • Joe Keery as Travis Meacham
  • Liam Neeson as Robert Quinn
  • Sosie Bacon as Dr. Hero Martins
  • Vanessa Redgrave as Ma Rooney
  • Darrell D'Silva as The Rev
  • Rob Collins as Enos Minjarra
  • Ellora Torchia as Abigail
  • Andrew Brooke as Greg
  • Daniel Rigby as Anthony
  • Aaron Heffernan

One of my favorite aspects of the highly anticipated film is its genre: comedy-horror. I love how the creepy high-stakes elements are balanced with much-needed levity. If anyone knows how to portray this blend to perfection, it’s Keery himself.

“Having read the book a while back, I'm pretty stoked to see this adapted for the big screen. Especially with Joe Keery and Liam Neeson leading the cast,” one commenter wrote.

“All my homies love Joe Keery,” said another.

Overall, a lot of fans are especially excited to see Joe Keery on the big screen post-Stranger Things. Knowing his career is not ending after the Netflix series concluded is very exciting.
