Sydney Sweeney is Booked! And! Busy! this year. The 25-year-old actor is being introduced into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Madame Web as well as starring in and producing multiple movies. Last year, we found out that she’ll be starring in and producing a psychological horror flick called Immaculate, which is slated to begin filming in January 2023. Her latest feat, though, is a rom-com alongside Set It Up star Glen Powell.

Per a report by Deadline, the R-rated flick has been acquired by Sony Pictures and will be directed by Will Gluck, who is known for his directorial work on the teen movie Easy A and romantic comedy Friends With Benefits. Sydney will be executive producing the film through her company, Fifty-Fifty Films, while Gluck, Joe Roth, Jeff Kirschenbaum, Natalie Sellers, and Alyssa Altman are also credited as producers for the untitled movie.

Details about the plot are being kept under wraps for now. Deadline reports that its script is being written by Ilana Wolpert, who has credits on Disney+’s teen musical comedy series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. “The rom-com is alive and well!!! Truly cannot believe this is real!!!!!” she wrote, celebrating the film’s announcement on Instagram.

Sydney also shared the news on IG, where she shared screenshots of the Deadline report and wrote, “See you soon, mate. ;)”

Production for the untitled romantic comedy is slated to begin in February 2023. You already know we’ll be on the lookout for more details as they come, and we’ll include them right here so you don’t miss out on Sydney’s rom-com era.
