Get ready for more Jacob Elordi on your screens because he's just booked a role on a huge new TV show.
If you haven't watched The Kissing Booth on Netflix yet, then you probably haven't had time to fall in love with Australian actor and all round legend, Jacob Elordi. Jacob, who only has a handful of on-screen roles to his name so far, shot to internet stardom after starring in the Netflix teen romcom alongside his real life girlfriend Joey King and now it looks like we're about to be seeing even more of him.
Yep, get ready for a whooole lot more Jacob screen-time because he's just been cast in a brand new HBO show alongside side some very famous people and it's a preeeeetty huge deal.
Jacob will be starring in HBO's new show called 'Euphoria', an adaptation of the Israeli series of the same name. It's described as the story of drugs, sex, identity, trauma, social media, love and friendship all told by a lying, drug addicted 17-year-old girl named Rue. Sounds spicy, right?
Zendaya has been cast as the lead role of Rue alongside a cast of 11 other huge stars. The pilot episode will also feature: Maude Apatow as Lexi, Brian “Astro” Bradley as McKay, Angus Cloud as Fezco, Eric Dane as Cal, Alexa Demie as Maddy, Barbie Ferreira as Kat, Nika King as Leslie, Storm Reid as Gia, Hunter Schafer as Jules, Sydney Sweeney as Cassie and of course, Jacob Elordi as Nate.
No other details about his - or anyone else's - character have been released just yet. All the character names have been changed from the original version so it's unclear who is playing who, or if the same characters will be used in the US adaptation at all.
The original series ran from 2012-2013 and only had 10 episodes. So far, HBO has only ordered the pilot episode of the series. If it does well, it could be picked up for a full season which means more Zendaya and a LOT more Jacob Elordi.
