Now streaming on Disney+, Prom Pact follows Mandy and Ben, two students who are divided when it comes to the high school experience—including their fast-approaching senior prom. But despite her opposition to all things social, Mandy indulges her best friend by asking him to the dance. However, when her fake friendship with the school's basketball star takes an unexpected turn, Mandy begins to neglect the one person who's been there for her from the start.

Although most of her credits are in acting, Julie Bowen branches out into production and serves as one of the rom-com's executive producers. Bowen is most well-known for playing Claire Dunphy in Modern Family, but has been featured in several other projects such as Horrible Bosses, The Fallout, and Mixtape. Prom Pact stars Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Milo Manheim, Blake Draper, Margaret Cho, and Monique Green.

Directed by Anya Adams and written by Anthony Lombardo, Prom Pact is the latest Disney Channel movie to stream on Disney+. The coming-of-age film follows high school senior, Mandy Yang, who rejects the idea of a typical teenage experience and focuses on getting into the college of her dreams. However, when Mandy tutors the captain of the basketball team to increase her chances of acceptance, their fake friendship leads to surprising realizations.

Margaret Cho plays Ms. Chen—the school's guidance counselor and one of Mandy's closest confidantes. Cho is a five-time Grammy and Emmy Award nominee and has been credited with over one-hundred projects. Some of her most recent works include Fire Island, History of the World: Part II, and The Flight Attendant. Prom Pact also stars Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Milo Manheim, Blake Draper, and Monique Green.

Few events loom larger in the minds of movie teenagers than prom. Dreams are realized, bullies are put in their place, girls are declared “all that.” Real life is rarely as dramatic, thankfully, but that doesn’t mean we should expect studios (and streamers) to stop trying to make the next “Pretty in Pink” or “10 Things I Hate About You” anytime soon. Disney offer a fresh take on teendom’s big night with “Prom Pact,” in which two platonic best friends who are more comfortable on the outside looking in decide to finally step into the fray of high school life.

Mandy Yang (Peyton Elizabeth Lee) first appears in a Ruth Bader Ginsburg T-shirt, obsessively refreshing her Harvard application in the hopes that it’s gone from “pending” to “accepted” while trying to avoid the pep rally where North Seattle High will officially announce its prom theme: the ‘80s.

Paramount Plus has released the official trailer for “The Offer,” the upcoming drama miniseries that chronicles the making of “The Godfather.”

Set in the early 1970s, “The Offer” stars Miles Teller as Albert S. Ruddy, who is hired as the producer for the film adaptation of the best-selling novel “The Godfather,” written by Mario Puzo (played by Patrick Gallo). While the series faces typical behind the scenes tension between its director Francis Ford Coppola (Dan Fogler) and producing team, the filming grows more complicated when mob boss Joe Colombo (Giovanni Ribisi) signs on to help assist in the production. In addition to Teller, Gallo, Fogler and Ribisi, the series will also star Matthew Goode, Juno Temple, Burn Gorman and Colin Hanks.

The trailer shows Teller as Ruddy as he assembles the creative team for the film and battles with producers, only for the involvement of the mob to cause the...

Margaret Cho (Good on Paper), Blake Draper (Clickbait), Monique Green (Big Shot), Arica Himmel (Mixed-ish), Jason Sakaki (Devil in Ohio) and David S. Jung have signed on to star alongside Peyton Elizabeth Lee and Milo Manheim in the Disney+ Original Movie Prom Pact from director Anya Adams (Ginny & Georgia).

In the teen romantic comedy, it’s the height of prom season, and high school senior Mandy Yang (Lee) and her best friend and fellow outsider Ben (Manheim) are surrounded by over-the-top ’80s-themed Promposals. However, Mandy keeps her eyes focused on a different goal: her lifelong dream of attending Harvard. When she finds out that she has been put on the waitlist, she is determined to do whatever she can do to get herself accepted, even if that means asking for help from the one person she abhors – popular all-star jock Graham Lansing (Draper), whose father is...
