Caddo Lake, formerly The Vanishings At Caddo Lake, is set around an eight-year-old girl mysteriously vanishing, and a series of past deaths and disappearances starting to link together, forever altering a broken family’s history, according to a synopsis from the producers.

Shyamalan produces via his Blinding Edge Pictures banner, which has a multi-year, first-look deal with Warner Bros. He became a name-brand filmmaker with Disney’s The Sixth Sense, the 1999 Bruce Willis feature with one of the more famous twist endings in cinema history and which landed him Oscar nominations for best screenplay and best director.

Shyamalan followed that up with a steady stream of films that for a time gave him a reputation as a twist-endings filmmaker: Unbreakable (2000), Signs (2002) and The Village (2004). In total, his films have grossed $3 billion globally.

The inspiration for Caddo Lake was sparked after filmmakers Held and George came across a photograph of the real Caddo Lake online. That led to many visits to the cypress forest that rests on the border of Texas and Louisiana ahead of the movie shooting in late 2021 and 2022 in and around Karnak, Texas.

Caddo Lake‘s producers also include= Ashwin Rajan, Kara Durrett and Josh Godfrey. Kimberly Steward, Harrison Huffman and Will Greenfield are executive producing.
