The Drama Trailer: Zendaya’s Shocking Secret Shakes Her Wedding Plans With Robert Pattinson

The first trailer of Kristoffer Borgli’s The Drama is finally out, and it promises exactly what the title suggests emotional chaos, uncomfortable truths and relationships hanging by a thread. Headlined by Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, the A24-backed film teases a whirlwind romance that spirals dangerously close to collapse just days before a wedding.

The trailer opens on a charming note, introducing audiences to a chance meeting between Pattinson and Zendaya’s characters. Their chemistry is instant, almost intoxicating, and before either of them — or the audience — can catch their breath, the two decide to get married. The catch? They barely know each other. What begins as a meet-cute romance quickly reveals deeper cracks once honesty enters

the picture.

A Game That Changes Everything

A24 unveiled the spunky first look, setting the stage with playful banter and an almost dreamlike sense of romantic optimism. That fragile bubble bursts during a seemingly harmless game involving their close friends, played by Alana Haim and Mamoudou Athie. The rules are simple: reveal one secret your partner doesn’t know.

Zendaya’s revelation lands like a bomb. While the trailer smartly keeps the secret under wraps, its impact is undeniable. Faces drop, conversations halt and what should have been a joyful wedding week turns into an emotional minefield. The confession creates a rift between the couple, forcing them to question not just their upcoming marriage, but whether they truly know — or trust — each other at all.

Fans Are Buckled In for Chaos

The internet, unsurprisingly, has embraced the mess. Reacting to the trailer, one fan commented, “The drama is that friend who started that stupid icebreaker to begin with. Mind your business!” Another wrote, “Zendaya and Pattinson serving chaos and charisma. April 3 can’t come soon enough.” A particularly intrigued viewer asked, “whoa did she like kill someone or something?” while another summed up the collective mood by declaring, “I am so sat! I am sat like never before!!”

The Drama is slated for a theatrical release on April 3, 2026.

Robert Pattinson was last seen in Die My Love, co-starring Jennifer Lawrence, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. Zendaya, meanwhile, recently impressed audiences in Dune: Part Two and the romantic sports drama Challengers.
