The film is produced by Vanishing Angle’s (Werewolves Within) Matt Miller and Natalie Metzger along with Katrina Kudlick (Ladyworld).
Morgan said that is “honored to be able to showcase” Spoonful of Sugar on AMC Networks’ Shudder and “can’t wait for audiences everywhere to dive into the trippy psyches of our characters.”
In Spoonful of Sugar, a disturbed babysitter experiences a sexual awakening while using LSD to alternatively treat a seemingly “sick” child from a family with dark secrets of their own.
The deal was negotiated by Vanishing Angle on behalf of the filmmakers, and Emily Gotto, VP, Global Acquisitions & Co-Productions on behalf of Shudder.
