A24&rsquo;s latest project brings together Zendaya and Robert Pattinson for a romantic comedy with a surreal twist.&nbsp;

A24 is stepping into new territory with The Drama, a romantic comedy that pairs two of Hollywood&rsquo;s most magnetic stars, Zendaya and Robert Pattinson. Written and directed by Kristoffer Borgli, best known for the surreal dark comedy Dream Scenario (2023), the film promises to bring a sharp, stylish twist to the classic rom-com formula.
Known for offbeat, arthouse projects like Everything Everywhere All at Once and Past Lives, A24 isn&rsquo;t exactly the first studio that comes to mind for a wedding-week comedy. But that&rsquo;s part of the appeal. The Drama follows a couple whose relationship begins to unravel just days before their wedding&mdash;a deceptively simple premise that hints at something deeper. While plot details remain closely guarded, early reports describe it as Borgli&rsquo;s most provocative work yet: an intentionally uncomfortable watch with moments of surreal tension.&nbsp;

The supporting cast includes Alana Haim, Mamoudou Athie, and Hailey Gates, all frequent collaborators within A24&rsquo;s creative orbit.
Fresh off <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/zendayas-fashion-looks-for-the-challengers-press-tour" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Challengers</a>,&nbsp;Zendaya continues her streak of complex, emotionally charged performances. Pattinson, meanwhile&mdash;alternating between blockbuster roles like The Batman and indie experiments such as The Lighthouse&mdash;brings his trademark unpredictability to the mix. Together, the two promise a chemistry that feels both electric and off-balance, one that fits perfectly within Borgli&rsquo;s universe of beautiful discomfort.

<h2>The Drama Release Date and Filming</h2>

Filming took place in late 2024, reportedly across the U.K. and the U.S. The film is set to release on April 3, 2026, making it one of next spring&rsquo;s most anticipated releases.&nbsp;There&rsquo;s no trailer yet, but given the studio&rsquo;s history of slow-burn marketing, fans can expect a first teaser toward the end of 2025.
If Borgli&rsquo;s previous work is any indication, The Drama won&rsquo;t be a straightforward love story. Expect something that walks the fine line between heartfelt and disorienting, an exploration of romance that&rsquo;s as beautiful as it is uneasy.
