The After franchise released its latest film, After Everything, on September 13. Although Josephine Langford appeared much less in the latest installment of the hit Wattpad adaptation, she will have more screen time in another upcoming project hitting theaters soon.
The Australian actress will no longer play Tessa Young, but she will continue in the romantic genre in her latest project, The Other Zoey. Brainstorm Media's romantic comedy centers on a college student who poses as someone else's girlfriend after a car accident. Unlike After, Langford's next film is more comedic than dramatic and also features Netflix alums Drew Starkey and Archie Renaux.
Langford is expected to continue in theaters for a little while longer with the limited release of The Other Zoey. After Everything landed on the big screen on September 13 and just a month later, the actress will have another title available in theaters on October 20.
Director: Sara Zandieh
Writer: Matthew Tabak
Stars: Josephine Langford, Drew Starkey, Archie Renaux
The romantic comedy will also be on demand shortly after the film's release on November 10. In the US, the film will be distributed directly to streaming in Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom on October 20. The Other Zoey will be available to stream via Prime Video in both locations.
There is! Brainstorm Media shared the official trailer for The Other Zoey on September 21, and right off the bat, it looks like the movie fits all the juicy romantic comedy criteria. From a love triangle to the enemies-to-lovers trope, the trailer features a messy love story between a college nerd and a jock who accidentally loses his memory. Although Zach MacLaren (Starkey) is miles away from what Zoey Miller (Langford) would classify as attractive, she is forced to like him when he forgets the true identity of her girlfriend. While she poses as Zach's girlfriend and attends his family gatherings, Zoey begins to warm to the college heartthrob while also having a slight crush on Zach's cousin (Miles played by Archie Renaux). With the lies piling up, the protagonist must decide not only who she will end up with, but also reveal her charade to Zach and her loved ones.
Josephine Langford is best known for her work as Tessa Young in the After film franchise. After five films, the Australian actress could leave the Hardin drama aside, but she will take her experiences on the set of the franchise to other projects such as The Other Zoey.
Instead of starring alongside Hero Fiennes Tiffin, the actress will star alongside two Netflix alums, Drew Starkey as Zach MacLaren and Archie Renaux as Miles. Starkey might be best known for his role as Rafe, Sarah Cameron's (Madelyn Cline) psychotic brother on Outer Banks, but he has also starred in other films such as The Hate U Give and the Hellraiser reboot. Meanwhile, Renaux has generated a lot of buzz for his role in Shadow and Bone. In addition to The Other Zoey, Renaux is expected to star in another upcoming project alongside Riverdale's Camila Mendes. The movie is called Upgraded and it will also be a romantic movie directed by Carlson Young.
Other actors who are also part of the cast of the film are Mallory Johnson (WeCrashed) as Elle, Zoey's best friend, Heather Graham (License to Drive) as Zoey's mother, Maggie Thurmon (Charlie Summer) as Zoey Wallace , Zach's real girlfriend, Andie McDowell (Maid) as Zach's mother, Connie MacLaren, and Patrick Fabien (Better Call Saul) as Zach's father, Matt MacLaren.
Matthew Tabak wrote the script and is a producer on the film. Gulfstream Pictures' Mike Karz and Bill Bindley, Matt Luber and Lena Rocklin are also credited as producers. Michael Cuddy and Nate Bryson are the executive producers behind The Other Zoey.
