Forbidden Fruits is the feature film debut as a director for Meredith Alloway, who assembles an intriguing ensemble: Lili Reinhart (Riverdale, Hustlers), Lola Tung (The Summer I Turned Pretty), Victoria Pedretti (You, The Haunting of Hill House), Alexandra Shipp (Barbie), and Emma Chamberlain. Forbidden Fruits is based on Lily Houghton’s play Of the Women Came the Beginning of Sin, and Through Her We All Die, with co-scripting duties shared between Alloway and Houghton.
Diablo Cody (Jennifer’s Body, Lisa Frankenstein) is producing this project, along with Mason Novick, Trent Hubbard, and Mary Anne Waterhouse, with Charlie Traisman and Katherine Romans from Madhouse Films, as well as Casey Durant and Rachel Douglas from Range, as some of its Executive Producers.
In Forbidden Fruits: Free Eden employee Apple secretly runs a witchy femme cult in the basement of the mall store after hours – with fellow fruits Cherry and Fig. But when new hire Pumpkin challenges their performative sisterhood, the women are forced to face their own poisons or succumb to a bloody fate.
Already, the Films Group Head of AMC Networks, Scott Shooman, declared Forbidden Fruits as a ‘must-watch’ for the year 2026, as he exclaimed:
“We are thrilled to join forces with the creative minds behind Forbidden Fruits. Meredith Alloway and Lily Houghton delivered a bewitching script that struck us as a project we felt deeply compelled to onboard early and ensure a theatrical release. With one of the brightest and most hotly anticipated cast lineups, Forbidden Fruits is gearing up to be a must-see in 2026.”
