Tubi, Fox Corporation's ad-supported streaming service, announced Paris Berelc (Alexa & Katie) will star opposite Asher Angel (Shazam! Fury of the Gods) in the Tubi Original YA Romantic Comedy Film Kissing Is the Easy Part. Jennifer Robertson (Ginny & Georgia) also joins the cast as Angel's mother. Fawzia Mirza (The Queen of My Dreams) is set to direct the film, which is based on the popular Wattpad webnovel (currently at 31.9 million reads) of the same name by Christine Duann adapted by Rebecca Webb. Both Berelc and Mirza also serve as executive producers.
Berelc is set to play "Flora," the effortlessly cool girl everyone at school knows - popular, funny, unpredictable and opinionated - who resists the academic path her parents envision for her and creates a connection with her tutor, "Sean" (Angel), that forces her to question everything she thought she knew about herself, love and her own potential. Robertson plays "Erin," a warm and kind single mother raising her kids after the passing of her late husband who welcomes "Flora" into her family and watches with joy as her son (Angel) finds love for the first time. The romantic comedy tells the story of a straight-A overachiever who makes a deal to tutor a popular wild child in exchange for a college recommendation letter to his dream school, but when sparks fly, school is the least of their problems.
The film was previously announced at Fox Upfront as part of Tubi's young adult programming slate. Additional cast includes Tom Keat (Fear Street: Prom Queen), Hayley Festeryga (This Time), Roshahn Dhoré (Adults), Mark Ballantyne (The Way Home), Rosalie Turmel (Cirkus) and Sorika Wolf (Fargo).
