"Seize Them!" is coming, and we couldn't be more excited. This upcoming British comedy - much like Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott's latest venture with their highly anticipated film "Strangers" - boasts the best of the UK and Ireland's talent. "Bridgerton"'s Nicola Coughlan, "Sex Education"'s Aimee Lou Wood, and "Shrill"'s Lolly Adefope will be joining forces as part of this medieval-set movie.
Whilst Coughlan has already served us plenty Barbiecore outfit inspiration for the press run as part of her supporting role in Greta Gerwig's "Barbie," we certainly can't wait to see her as the leading lady alongside the all-star cast for this comedy.
Keep reading for all of the details we know so far about "Seize Them!" - including the plot and release date.
