Lights, camera, romance! A24 might be best known for its horror films, but the entertainment company also has some pretty solid romance movies. Take the critically acclaimed romantic thriller Love Lies Bleeding for example or the romantic comedy We Live in Time. A24 has many more romance movies that are either set to be released soon or are currently in the works.

One of the romance films currently in development is The Drama. We first learned of this movie back in August of 2024 when it was announced that Norwegian film director and screenwriter Kristoffer Borgli would be teaming up with A24 to make it. Borgli and A24 had previously collaborated on the black comedy Dream Scenario, which starred Nicolas Cage. Borgli penned the screenplay and also directed the movie, while A24 produced and distributed it.

For The Drama, Borgli wrote the script and will direct, with A24 financing and producing. Ari Aster, Lars Knudsen, and Tyler Campellone will produce via Square Peg. Square Peg has also worked with Borgli and A24 in the past on Dream Scenario. It was one of the production companies behind the film.

Unfortunately, plot details about The Drama are being kept secret at the moment. However, what has been revealed so far is that it will revolve around a couple whose relationship changes drastically before their big day.
