It’s official: Zendaya and Robert Pattinson‘s new movie, The Drama, is indeed a romantic comedy.
A24 confirmed the long-gestating rumors Friday when announcing that the movie will walk down the aisle and into theaters April 3, 2026.
Beyond the fact that it’s a rom-com, exact plot details continue to be kept under wraps, although the storyline is suggested to be about a couple whose romance takes an unexpected — and dramatic — turn just before their big day.
The Drama is written and directed by Kristoffer Borgli, whose previous credits include the Golden Globe-nominated Dream Scenario, starring Nicolas Cage. His new film, which finished shooting late last year, also stars Alana Haim, Mamoudou Athie and Hailey Gates in addition to Zendaya and Pattinson.
Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen are producing The Drama through their Square Peg banner alongside Borgli and Tyler Campellone of Dilemma Films, and in collaboration with A24.
A24 and Square Peg are frequent collaborators: additional titles they’ve worked on include Borgli’s Dream Scenario; Death of a Unicorn, starring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega; and the Aster-directed Eddington, which stars Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Emma Stone and Austin Butler. The two companies were also behind Hereditary and Midsommar.
Zendaya is a two-time Emmy winner for her role on HBO’s Euphoria; her star power continued to rise with 2024 features Challengers and Dune: Part Two.
Pattinson played the title role in Warner Bros.’s 2022 superhero movie The Batman, which was a huge success in grossing north of $770 million at the worldwide box office. He’s had a busy 2025, shooting both Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and Denis Villeneuve’s third Dune installment. And he’s now getting ready to start shooting Matt Reeves‘ The Batman: Part II in Spring 2026.
