EXCLUSIVE: Sofia Carson (Purple Hearts), Kyle Allen (A Haunting in Venice), Sebastian De Souza (Fair Play), and Connie Britton (The White Lotus) have signed on to star in The Life List, a new Netflix rom-com from writer-director Adam Brooks (Definitely, Maybe).
Based on the 2013 novel by Lori Nelson Spielman, The Life List‘s logline is as follows: When Alex Rose’s (Carson) mother sends her on a quest to complete her childhood bucket list, it takes her on a journey that will make you both laugh and cry as she uncovers family secrets, finds romance, and discovers herself along the way.
Liza Chasin (The Lost City, Stillwater) is producing for 3dot Productions. The film falls under Chasin’s first-look deal with the streamer, announced in 2019, which also covers her upcoming Morocco-set love story Lonely Planet starring Laura Dern, Liam Hemsworth, and Diana Silvers. Exec producers of The Life List include Hutch Parker, Brooks, Margaret Chernin, and Kerry Orent.

Prior to that, she starred in Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists as well as Disney Channel’s Descendants films. Up next, she’ll be seen starring opposite Jason Bateman, Taron Egerton and more in Jaume Collet-Serra’s action thriller Carry On, also for Netflix.
Previously, Allen has been seen in Kenneth Branagh’s A Haunting in Venice and Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story, along with films like Rosaline and The Map of Tiny Perfect Things. His TV credits include Hulu’s The Path and American Horror Story on FX.
