SZA is set to make her acting debut in Eddie Huang‘s upcoming film Tuna Melt, joining the cast alongside Euphoria breakout star Chloe Cherry.

According to reports, the TDE artist will be portraying Huang’s still-unnamed love interest, while details of Cherry’s character have not been revealed. Tuna Melt is billed as “an off-beat dramedy” compared to “an updated Pulp Fiction meets High Fidelity.” Starring, written, produced directed by Huang, the story follows a hitman who ends up meeting the love of his life shortly after finishing a job — which occurs during the aftermath of a breakup.

In addition to Huang, Scooter Braun, James Shin, Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett will produce, while Scott Manson will be serving as executive producer.

Stay tuned for an official trailer and release date.

Elsewhere in entertainment, the John Wick prequel The Continental is heading to Peacock.
