It’s hard to believe Dakota Fanning hasn’t been recognized by the TV Academy before. She’s been acting for 25 years, but she just picked up her first Emmy nomination this morning. Speaking to Deadline, she discussed her upcoming Paramount horror film Vicious , her upcoming Netflix murder mystery series The Perfect Couple , and her creative ambitions for the future.

Written and directed by Bryan Bertino, Vicious follows a woman who spends the night struggling for her survival as she slips through a rabbit hole hidden inside a gift from a nocturnal visitor. Of her time working on the film, which is set to open August 8, 2025, Fanning said, "I absolutely loved that experience, and it was very different from anything I've done before. It was a crazy experience in the best way. I loved it and I really can't wait to see it."
Fanning went on to say that "you make something and you think it's a certain way, and then sometimes you see it and it changes and you discover new things, and I'm still kind of high on the experience of making [Vicious]. It was really, really satisfying."
