Pretty Little Liars alum Lucy Hale has been cast in the lead role of a new romance, "A Young Widow’s Guide to Life," with international sales launching in Cannes.
The film will be directed by rising filmmaker Mackenzie Munro and produced by Pascal Borno, Alain Gillissen, Silvio Muraglia, and Jack Greenbaum.
Principal photography will commence this September in Italy.
Written by Katrina Day Schaefer, "A Young Widow’s Guide to Life" follows Tess Fuller (Hale), a 30-year-old widow who remains emotionally stuck five years after the death of her husband.
“On the anniversary of his passing, Luke’s childhood friend publishes a letter he left behind asking the town to help Tess create a list of things to try to start over and move on with her life,” a plot synopsis reads.
“Reluctantly, Tess starts checking items off the list and slowly reconnects with life, love, and herself. As she develops a connection with a charming single father and professor named Marcus, Tess must decide whether she is ready to open her heart again — or if she still needs time to find herself first. After an emotional turning point, she embarks on a solo road trip that ultimately helps her let go of the past and embrace a new chapter.”
The project marks another commercial movie role for Hale, whose recent film "F*** Marry Kill" topped Hulu in 2025.
The star is best known for the TV hit "Pretty Little Liars," as well as "Truth or Dare," and "The Hating Game".
