Netflix is developing Scope, a mystery action thriller from Warfare helmer Ray Mendoza and producer Jaume Collet-Serra, Deadline has learned.
Billed as a mystery action thriller in the vein of Disturbia and Rear Window, the story follows a battle-hardened special forces operator returning home to recuperate from a traumatizing injury who gets caught up in an unexpected suburban mystery.
Scope originated as a spec by Charley Parlapanides and Vlas Parlapanides (Netflix’s Blood of Zeus) and Scott Charnick, which Netflix picked up preemptively via Collet-Serra’s Jadis Collective.
Jaume Collet-Serra is no stranger to horror, making his feature directing debut with the House of Wax remake (2005) before helming Orphan (2009), shark thriller The Shallows (2016), and The Woman in the Yard (2025). His genre producing credits also include Mindscape (2013), Hooked Up (2013), Extinction (2015), and Curve (2015).
Collet-Serra and Max Jacoby will produce via Jadis Collective, alongside Trevor Engelson and Josh McGuire of Underground (The Drop: A Snowfall Saga). This is the latest project out of Collet-Serra’s creative partnership with Netflix, under which he directs and produces film & TV for the streamer. He inked that deal following the breakout success of his airport action-thriller Carry-On, starring Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman, which is Netflix’s third most popular movie of all time at 172.1M+ views all time.
