A24 Unveils Trailer for The Drama Starring Zendaya and Pattinson

Published 3 February 2026

A24 has unveiled the first trailer for "The Drama," a forthcoming film written and directed by Kristoffer Borgli that stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as an engaged couple whose wedding week unravels due to a long-hidden secret. The studio plans a theatrical release on April 3, 2025.

The story follows Emma Harwood, played by Zendaya, a bookstore employee with an English degree from Boston University, and Charlie Thompson, portrayed by Pattinson, a British museum director who holds a doctorate in art history from Tufts University and leads the Cambridge Art Museum. As their ceremony approaches, an unexpected revelation from Emma's past disrupts their plans, leading to emotional turmoil and strained interactions. The trailer depicts the couple playing a game with friends that prompts Emma to share a surprising detail from her history, leaving Charlie visibly shaken. "You have to stop thinking about it," she tells him, to which he replies, "How do you say, 'Stop thinking'?"

Supporting the leads are Mamoudou Athie, Alana Haim, Hailey Gates, Zoë Winters as a wedding photographer, Michael Abbott Jr., Sydney Lemmon, YaYa Gosselin and Peyton Jackson. Production, handled by Ari Aster...
