Cole Sprouse and Kathryn Newton Reunite for Movie "Hot Year"

Cole Sprouse and Kathryn Newton are set to reunite on the indie coming-of-age revenge thriller "Hot Year".

The pic marks the second collaboration between the pair after the 2024 movie "Lisa Frankenstein".

Roxy Sophie Sorkin is making her feature directorial debut with the pic from a script she also wrote.

Dove Cameron, Storm Reid, J. Smith Cameron, and Owen Painter round out the cast.

Principal photography is set to begin in Oklahoma in May.

Set against the eerie backdrop of a small Pacific Northwest town during a relentless heatwave, "Hot Year" follows two childhood best friends whose bond is pushed to the brink after a revenge plan against an ex-partner spirals into a violent incident they can’t take back. Over the course of one feverish night, the pair must navigate the consequences of their actions as buried trauma, loyalty, and identity collide.

Wagner Entertainment’s Jordan Wagner and Killer Films’ Christine Vachon will produce alongside Evan Silverberg and Dylan Conklin for Entertainment 360 and Ilya Stewart for Hype Studios.

Ryan Hamilton will executive produce for Wagner Entertainment, with Amanda Larney serving as co-producer and George Bicknell associate producer. Newton will exec produce.

Aleksandr Fomin will executive produce on behalf of Hype Studios, with Pavel Burian executive producing for Mosaic Films.

Talia Bella and Randy Wayne of Rebellium Films will serve as co-producers and are handling production services in Oklahoma.

Sprouse is coming off a busy 2025 that included shooting three indie features: "Wake," directed by Devon Michaels; "Elastic Hearts," directed by Milad Schwartz Avaz; and "Vintage Violence," directed by Eugene Kotlyarenko.

He recently wrapped the co-lead of Amazon’s "Goodbye Girl" alongside Kiernan Shipka and Natalia Dyer.

Sprouse will next be seen in Andrew Patterson’s feature "The Rivals of Amziah King," starring Matthew McConaughey and Kurt Russell and produced by David Heyman, which premiered at the SXSW 2025.

He will also be seen opposite Margo Martindale in David Drake’s independent feature "Dead Letters."
