On May 4, reports have its digital premiere and will be available to buy or rent on platforms such as Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home from May 5. A spokesperson from A24 confirmed the same to USA TODAY.

In India and other Asian countries, the release is expected in the coming weeks. The Drama DVD release has not yet been announced.

About The Drama

The Drama follows a couple whose relationship begins to unravel just days before their wedding. What starts as a seemingly perfect romance slowly exposes deeper emotional conflicts, secrets, and unresolved trauma. As tensions rise, the film explores love, identity, and the fragility of modern relationships, with both characters confronting uncomfortable truths about themselves and each other. Expect a character-driven narrative rather than a traditional romance.

Zendaya and Robert Pattinson play a happily engaged couple whose relationship is tested by an unexpected revelation during the week before their wedding. The dark secret, which came as a major plot twist, initially left fans shocked and divided. The film also stars Alana Haim, Mamoudou Athie, and Hailey Gates in supporting roles.In an interview, Robert Pattinson has said that some parts of The Drama were hard to understand, even though most of the story's secrets are still secret. He told Premiere magazine that he wrote a lot of notes about one scene and even called Zendaya the night before shooting to talk about it for almost two hours. Pattinson felt better about the scene after Zendaya told him that the dialogue was exactly what it said.
