Jason Alexander, known for his role in "Seinfeld," will star in the upcoming supernatural horror-comedy "Doom Scroll." The film, which has completed principal photography in the Canary Islands, also features Israeli actress the Israeli actress ("Fauda," "False Flags," "Lucifer"), Josh Randor ("How I Met Your Mother"), and Betsy Brandt ("Breaking Bad").

The plot centers on an American-Jewish family whose Passover Seder is disrupted by a vengeful group of invaders seeking fame and viral glory. A college student, played by the actor ("Gotham"), must defend his family not only from the intruders but also from an ancient legend that comes to life.

The film's title, "Doom Scroll," is a double entendre. It refers to the modern phenomenon of obsessive internet scrolling, particularly on social media, and literally means "scroll of doom," likely a nod to the Passover Haggadah or another ancient text. The filmmakers suggest that the characters will face significant hardship, referencing the Passover tradition of eating bitter herbs.

"Doom Scroll" is produced by the independent studio K180, led by the Korman brothers Beki, Lili, and Shai, who specialize in comedies with a Jewish twist. Their previous productions include "The Floaters," starring Aya Cash and Seth Green, set at an American-Jewish summer camp, and "Influenced," a comedy about a New York divorcee aiming for social media stardom, which featured Gwyneth Paltrow, Matt Damon, and Drew Barrymore.
