Charithra Chandran Stars in New Rom-Com "How to Date Billy Walsh" — Here's What Else We Know

All three of the main love triangle in "How to Date Billy Walsh" are familiar faces, each fresh off the success of a recent beloved Netflix series. Charithra Chandran, who rose to fame as Edwina Sharma in season 2 of "Bridgerton", plays Amelia, while Sebastian Croft from the coming-of-age hit show "Heartstopper" plays Archie — two best friends who have been inseparable since childhood. As the eponymous Billy Walsh, Tanner Buchanan ("Cobra Kai", "He's All That") stars.

Beyond them, the supporting cast boasts a number of British comedy icons such as Lucy Punch ("Motherland"), Guz Khan ("Man Like Mobeen"), and Nick Frost ("Hot Fuzz"). As well as this, "The Big Bang Theory" star Kunal Nayyar features, and the cast is rounded off by newcomer Daisy Jelley.

Tushar Jindal, head of film acquisition at Prime Video, said, "How to Date Billy Walsh" features an incredibly exciting, young, and diverse cast that have already made a mark internationally."

The movie is the third British film to be produced by Prime Video and is produced alongside Future Artists Entertainment.

Alex Sanjiv Pillai ("Bridgerton") directs. Familiar with the teen drama genre, Pillai has previously directed episodes of shows such as "Riverdale", "Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin", and "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina". The script has been written by Alexander J. Farrell and Greer Ellison ("Making a Killing").

The crew also includes Hamish Doyne-Ditmas ("Save the Cinema") as director of photography, Julian Nagel ("Been So Long") as production designer, Eleanor Baker ("The Princess Switch 3") as costume designer, Chloe Edwards ("Breeders") as makeup designer, and Matt Platts-Mills ("Sanditon") as editor.

Prime Video is yet to announce an official release date, but audiences can expect the film to drop exclusively on the platform in 2023. It will be released globally in over 240 countries and territories.
