Want to know more about the Nanny cast? You've come to the right place as we've got everything you need to know about the main cast in the new Prime Video horror.

The new movie follows Aisha, a woman who recently emigrated from Senegal and is hired to care for the daughter of an affluent couple living in New York City. By taking the job, she hopes she can afford to bring her young son over to the US with her, but it's no easy task.

Aisha is also unsettled by the family’s volatile home life and a violent presence begins to invade both her dreams and her reality, threatening the American dream she is painstakingly piecing together.

There's quite a small cast in Nanny as most of the movie focuses on Aisha and the family she works for, but here's everything you need to know...
