Get ready to dive into the whirlwind of teenage love with Heartstopper star Sebastian Croft in the new rom-com sensation, How to Date Billy Walsh. This movie will take your screens by storm with its blend of laughter, love, and a sprinkle of chaos, exclusively on Prime Video starting Friday, April 5.
Sebastian Croft’s Big Switch
Sebastian Croft is leaving behind his role as the tough guy in Heartstopper to play Archie, a teen tangled in love. Archie is stuck in the friend zone with his childhood bestie, Amelia, portrayed by Bridgerton‘s Charithra Chandran. He’s the perfect friend – always there to protect her and crack up at her jokes. But Archie’s got eyes for more, dreaming of turning their friendship into a love story.
Croft Finds Himself in Another Love Triangle
Just as Archie gears up to confess his feelings, in walks Billy Walsh, a charming American student, played by Tanner Buchanan (Cobra Kai). Amelia falls head over heels for Billy, sparking a frantic quest by Archie to keep their budding romance at bay. Despite his wild schemes, Archie’s efforts might pull the lovebirds closer, putting his friendship with Amelia on the line.
Get Ready for Billy Walsh
Prime Video dropped a teaser that’s sure to grab your attention. It kicks off with Billy’s grand entrance and Amelia’s bombshell confession to Archie, “I love Billy,” leaving Archie in disbelief. The teaser gives us a glimpse into the hilarious and heartwarming moments to come, including Archie’s unfortunate encounters with food.
Food Fights and British Charm
Croft’s Instagram reveals a messy side of the film, with Archie frequently finding himself covered in everything from spaghetti to chocolate cake.
Croft shared his excitement about the film’s uniquely British charm and the joy it brought to the team during production. Directed by Alex Pillai of Bridgerton fame and featuring a stellar cast including Nick Frost, Tim Downie, and Lucy Punch, How to Date Billy Walsh promises a rom-com adventure filled with laughs, love, and a whole lot of food.
We were gutted to learn that Croft would not be returning for more seasons of Heartstopper, but at least it won’t be long before he is back on our screens.
So, mark your calendars for April 5 and prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions and food fights with How to Date Billy Walsh on Prime Video. It’s a love story with a twist that you won’t want to miss!
