Kristin Davis, best known for her role as Charlotte York in 'Sex and the City', and comedian Tig Notaro have joined the cast of 'Beach Read', the upcoming film adaptation of Emily Henry's bestselling novel, as exclusively revealed by Deadline. The film, produced by 20th Century Studios, is currently shooting.
Davis and Notaro join a star-studded ensemble led by Phoebe Dynevor and Patrick Schwarzenegger, alongside previously announced cast members Andie MacDowell and Kevin Bacon. Specific character details for the newcomers remain under wraps.
'Beach Read' follows idealistic romance novelist January Andrews (Dynevor) and cynical literary fiction writer Augustus 'Gus' Everett (Schwarzenegger), rival authors with opposing worldviews who both suffer from writer's block. When they unexpectedly become neighbours in a small Lake Michigan beach town for the summer, they make a bet to swap genres, blurring the lines between fiction and romance.
The film is directed by Yulin Kuang, who also wrote the script, and produced by Neal H. Moritz via his Original Films. It is scheduled for a theatrical release on 7 May 2027.
