The Drama, a dark romantic comedy starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, is reportedly coming soon to digital streaming.
Rated R, The Drama opened in theaters nationwide on April 3. In the film, Zendaya and Pattinson play Emma and Charlie, a happily engaged couple whose wedding week is thrown into chaos when Emma reveals an unnerving dark secret from her past.
Written and directed by Kristoffer Borgli (Dream Scenario), The Drama also stars Alana Haim (Licorice Pizza, One Battle After Another), Mamoudou Athie (Jurassic World: Dominion) and Hailey Benton Gates (Marty Supreme).
The Drama is set to be released on digital streaming via premium video on demand on Tuesday, May 5, according to When to Stream. While When to Stream is typically accurate with its PVOD reports, the streaming tracker noted that The Drama’s studio, A24, has not announced or confirmed the release date and it is subject to change.
When The Drama arrives on PVOD, it will be available to purchase for $24.99 on several digital platforms including Apple TV, Fandango at Home, Prime Video and YouTube Movies & TV.
