Zendaya and Robert Pattinson star as an engaged couple facing turmoil in the upcoming A24 film The Drama. The first full trailer, released in February 2026, teases a wedding week derailed by a shocking confession. The movie is scheduled for theatrical release on April 3, 2026.
Zendaya and Robert Pattinson lead the cast of The Drama, an A24 romantic drama directed by Kristoffer Borgli. Zendaya portrays Emma Harwood, while Pattinson plays her fiancé Charlie Thompson. The story centers on the couple's wedding preparations, which unravel due to an unexpected revelation.
According to A24's official synopsis, the film follows "a happily engaged couple" whose plans are "put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails." A secondary description from Harper’s Bazaar notes that "days before their wedding, a couple’s relationship is shaken when one partner discovers unsettling truths about the other."
The February 2026 trailer opens with the pair in a dance class, where Emma mentions, “The wedding is this Saturday.” It shows Charlie rehearsing his speech, reminiscing about their milestones, while Emma worries about her vows at the altar. Charlie reassures her, “You don’t have to make a speech.”
In a cafe scene, Emma confides in her friend, played by Alana Haim, describing Charlie as her “first love.” When asked if it's her first crush, she replies, “Both. Why — is that insane?”
Tensions escalate during a game where friends share their “worst thing” they've ever done. Emma's undisclosed confession stuns the group, prompting Charlie to struggle with trust. She urges him, “You have to stop thinking about it,” as a friend questions, “How can you even trust her?”
The supporting cast includes Alana Haim, Hailey Gates, and Mamoudou Athie. Fan reactions to the trailer on YouTube express intrigue, with comments like “I wanna know what she did. This looks so investing” and “Now I can’t sleep, thinking about what Emma might have done.” Speculation centers on the confession's controversial nature, hinting at a major plot twist.
