Just in, HBO has dropped a new trailer for Sweethearts, an incoming romantic comedy about two college friends who make a pact to break-up with their high school sweethearts.

Kiernan Shipka and Nico Hiraga star in Sweethearts:

Here’s the synopsis for the movie:

Two college freshmen pull a “Turkey Dump” and break up with their high school sweethearts over “Drunksgiving” – the one chaotic night before Thanksgiving in their hometown that puts their codependent friendship to the test.

Shipka is no doubt the bigger star in this film, having been the lead in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, but I do have to say Hiraga was pretty memorable in Olivia Wilde’s Booksmart where he played one of the ‘cool kids’.

Like any rom-com, the movie also has appearances from some great comic talent. Stavros Halkias may not be the biggest comedian now, but he’s steadily showing up in more places. The movie also features Tramell Tillman who pretty much stole the scene as Milchick in Apple TV+’s Severance.

It’s also worth noting that the movie is being directed by Jordan Weiss, the creator of the series Dollface which starred Kat Dennings and Brenda Song.

It’s a pretty interesting premise, and based on the trailer, this does look to be a more artsy rom-com as compared to what Netflix usually pumps out. At best it’s a funnier Euphoria, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

Catch Sweethearts when it releases on Max on Nov. 28.
