Jo Ellen Pellman & Ariana DeBose Star In Official 'The Prom' Trailer - Watch Now!

Jo Ellen Pellman and Ariana DeBose hold hands in the just released official trailer for their upcoming movie The Prom!

The newcomer and the Broadway star join an all star cast in the upcoming Netflix movie musical adaptation of the Broadway show.

Also in the cast are Meryl Streep, James Corden, Nicole Kidman, Andrew Rannells, Keegan-Michael Key, Kerry Washington, Kevin Chamberlain and more.

Here’s a synopsis: Dee Dee Allen (Streep) and Barry Glickman (Corden) are New York City stage stars with a crisis on their hands: their expensive new Broadway show is a major flop that has suddenly flatlined their careers. Meanwhile, in small-town Indiana, high school student Emma Nolan (Pellman) is experiencing a very different kind of heartbreak: despite the support of the high school principal (Key), the head of the PTA (Washington) has banned her from attending the prom with her girlfriend, Alyssa (DeBose).

When Dee Dee and Barry decide that Emma’s predicament is the perfect cause to help resurrect their public images, they hit the road with Angie (Kidman) and Trent (Rannells), another pair of cynical actors looking for a professional lift. But when their self-absorbed celebrity activism unexpectedly backfires, the foursome find their own lives upended as they rally to give Emma a night where she can truly celebrate who she is.

The Prom, produced and directed by Ryan Murphy, will premiere on Netflix and in select theaters on December 11th!

Ryan Murphy Wants To Re-Do 'Glee' Pilot With Lea Michele & These Celeb BFFs

Ryan Murphy Wants To Re-Do 'Glee' Pilot With Lea Michele & These Celeb BFFs

Ryan Murphy has an idea to do-over the Glee pilot!

The co-creator of the series recently shared on Instagram that he wants to re-make the series with Lea Michele, Ben Platt and Beanie Feldstein.

“Imagine it’s 2009, and I lived in a world where I knew Lea Michele, Ben Platt and Beanie Feldstein (Ben and Beanie, I believe, were in high school then…and I think they dressed up as Glee characters once for Halloween?)” Ryan wrote. “If I had access to that talent, here’s the new pilot: Lea and Ben are frenemies who fight for the heart and soul of Glee Club. Ben is also on the football team, and pretty much sleeps with the entire school and is the heartthrob of McKinley.”

“Beanie is their mutual best friend, and torn. Suddenly, Beanie joins forces with Sue Sylvester, joins Glee Club and becomes the main soloist and the ruthless star of the club. Lea and Ben have to then join forces to dethrone her. I WANT TO SHOOT THIS DO OVER PILOT. Maybe I will?” he added.

UMM… YES, PLEASE! Can we make this happen?!

And THAT’s what you missed on Instagram!

Ryan Murphy Talks Lea Michele & Naya Rivera Feud, Says Some 'Glee' Boys Didn't Get Along

Ryan Murphy Talks Lea Michele & Naya Rivera Feud, Says Some 'Glee' Boys Didn't Get Along

Lea Michele and Naya Rivera were reportedly in a lengthy feud during their time on Glee together, and now, the show’s creator Ryan Murphy has spoken about the speculation.

Ryan was speaking about his new FX show Feud when he was asked about Lea and Naya.

“I feel like in the case of that show [Glee], that show was just a s–tstorm of difficulty, largely because, what do you do when you’re 18 years old or 19 years old and you wake up one day and you’re world famous? I think a lot of that was informed by their youth and being involved in a phenomenon. And I know for a fact that they [Lea and Naya] admired each other’s work, ’cause I directed them both in scenes,” Ryan told E! about their rumored feud.

When asked if he would take on Lea and Naya‘s feud for his new FX Feud series, he replied, “I don’t think I would take on Lea and Naya. I think for a feud to work on this show, it has to have decades of pain behind it. But if they’re still feuding at 40, I might consider it. I’ll call them up in a couple years.”

And then, Ryan dropped this little tidbit. “There were many boys on our show that didn’t get along. And you never hear about that. You never hear about that in our culture,” he said.

Naya has addressed the feud with Lea in the past.
