The new 'Darby & The Dead' trailer has finally arrived
Low-key and high-key? I can’t wait to let the world in on what Darby & The Dead is all about with a Date Night or Nahhh… rundown but an embargo is an embargo - so for the time being let’s geek out over the upcoming film’s new trailer.
December 2 feels like forever away but while we ignite the countdown, soak in the trailer showing what Hulu and select Disney+ subscribers are gearing up for.
The trailer and poster for 20th Century Studios’ “Darby and the Dead,” a supernatural teen comedy about a high school student who moonlights as a spiritual messenger, are both available now. The original movie will stream December 2, 2022, exclusively on Hulu in the U.S., Star+ in Latin America, and Disney+ under the Star banner in all other territories.
After suffering a near-death experience as a young girl, Darby Harper (Downs) gains the ability to see dead people. As a result, she becomes introverted and shut off from her high school peers and prefers to spend time counseling lonely spirits who have unfinished business on earth. But all that changes when Capri (Cravalho), the Queen Bee of the school’s most exclusive clique, unexpectedly dies in a freak hair straightening accident, resulting in the obvious cancellation of her upcoming “Sweet 17.” Capri, however, pleads with Darby from the other side to intervene and convince Capri’s friends to proceed with the party as planned. In order to appease the wrath of the undead diva, Darby must emerge from her self-imposed exile and reinvent herself — which along the way allows her to find new joy back in the land of the living. “Darby and the Dead” stars Riele Downs, Auli’i Cravalho, Chosen Jacobs, Asher Angel, Wayne Knight, with Derek Luke and Tony Danza, and is directed by Silas Howard. The screenplay is by Becca Greene, based on a story by Wenonah Wilms, and the producers are Adam Saunders and Eddie Rubin, with Michele Weisler and Mac Hendrickson serving as executive producers.
