Helmed by Alex Hardcastle and screenplay by Andrew Knauer, Arthur Pielli, and Brandon Scott Jones, “Senior Year” is an American comedy film that was released on May 13, 2022, by Netflix. The comedy film features Rebel Wilson, Sam Richardson, Zoë Chao, Mary Holland, Justin Hartley, Chris Parnell, Angourie Rice, Michael Cimino, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Jones, and Alicia Silverstone.
Discussing the film, the comedy actress Rebel Wilson in an interview talked about what made her get involved. She said, “I got given the script and it was in its earlier stages and I just thought – wow, the premise of a girl going into a coma in her senior year for 20 years and then waking up and trying to re-do her senior year 20 years later was a really fun thing to play with, especially considering how ‘woke’ and everything society is and how ‘fluid’ the kids are. There are so many differences between 2022 and 2002 culturally and in society and as a comic premise, that is going to be pretty good.”
Wilson also shared that “Senior Year” is the third film that she produced along with Todd Garner, Chris Bender, and Timothy M. Bourne. The previous two films she produced are “Isn’t It Romantic” and “The Hustle.”
Here’s what we know about a sequel to Senior Year.
