First Look Photo & Release Date Revealed For Riele Downs & Auli'i Cravalho's 'Darby & the Dead' Movie

Here’s a synopsis: After suffering a near-death experience as a young girl, Darby Harper (Downs) gains the ability to see dead people. As a result, she becomes introverted and shut off from her high school peers and prefers to spend time counseling lonely spirits who have unfinished business on earth.

But all that changes when Capri (Cravalho), the Queen Bee of the school’s most exclusive clique, unexpectedly dies in a freak hair straightening accident, resulting in the obvious cancellation of her upcoming “Sweet 17.”

Capri, however, pleads with Darby from the other side to intervene and convince Capri’s friends to proceed with the party as planned. In order to appease the wrath of the undead diva, Darby must emerge from her self-imposed exile and reinvent herself — which along the way allows her to find new joy back in the land of the living.

Silas Howard directed the feature, which was written by Becca Green, based on a story by Wenonah Wilms.

Darby and the Dead is set to premiere December 2nd on Hulu in the US, Star+ in Latin America, and Disney+ under the Star banner in all other territories.
