Everyone knows the story of Romeo and Juliet, but what about Romeo’s spurned lover, Rosaline? She’s been pushed to the side and forgotten about…until now. The new trailer for 20th Century Studios’ Rosaline tells the story of Romeo and Juliet from Rosaline’s point of view.
The trailer shows poor Rosaline is upset that her boyfriend is using the same lovely words to woo Juliet that he used on her just three days prior. Rosaline’s the one who’s supposed to be Romeo’s great love and future wife, yet Romeo doesn’t seem to care one iota that he’s so easily replaced her with her very own cousin. Damn the man.
Emmy Award nominee Kaitlyn Dever (Dopesick) stars as the titular character and serves as an executive producer. The cast also includes Sean Teale (Little Voice) as Dario, Minnie Driver (Speechless) as The Nurse, Bradley Whitford (The Handmaid’s Tale), Kyle Allen (American Horror Story) as Romeo, and Isabela Merced (Sweet Girl) as Juliet. Henry Hunter Hall (Hunters) plays Mercutio and Spencer Stevenson (Rollers) is Paris.
Based on Rebecca Serle’s novel When You Were Mine, Rosaline was adapted by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber (500 Days of Summer) and directed by Karen Maine (Yes, God, Yes). Shawn Levy, Dan Cohen, and Dan Levine produce, with Neustadter, Weber, Whitney Brown, Becca Edelman, and Emily Morris executive producing.
Rosaline will premiere on Hulu on October 14, 2022.
The Plot: Rosaline is a fresh and comedic twist on Shakespeare’s classic love story Romeo & Juliet, told from the perspective of Juliet’s cousin Rosaline (Dever), who also happens to be Romeo’s recent love interest. Heartbroken when Romeo (Allen) meets Juliet (Merced) and begins to pursue her, Rosaline schemes to foil the famous romance and win back her guy.
