Rebel Wilson is returning as a cheerleader to the screens! Reportedly her next big project is with Netflix titled “Senior Year” and the fans are delighted to have her back in her element. We have been her fans since her Pitch Perfect days and it seems like she is coming to start a new era with her upcoming comedy film.
Other than her there are many mainstream actors starring in the film as well. Well, now we know that the stellar cast will be the main reason behind its popularity. The movie is directed by the talented Alex Hardcastle. He has previously worked on famous projects so the movie is in safe hands! The plot of “Senior Year” is a bit bizarre. Rebel Wilson’s character wakes up from a 20-year-old long coma.
The cause of her coma was that she suffered an accident back in her cheerleading school days. But now as she has finally gained consciousness she is a woman in her 30s who has practically missed most of her life. But will she make up for it? Or will she remain remorseful of her past?
Well, that is for the film to tell but we do have some leads on the other sub-plots as well! Continue reading the article to find out more about the film.
A number of pictures from the set have been released by Netflix recently. They feature actors in their respective roles and it was a nostalgic experience to see Rebel Wilson as a cheerleader yet again. We last saw her in Cats, which was way back in 2019. The actress herself is quite excited about the project. In an interview she revealed:
“SENIOR YEAR is like the wildly funny love child of BRING IT ON and NEVER BEEN KISSED. It will literally bring ‘cheer’ into your homes! I can’t wait for everyone to see SENIOR YEAR on Netflix.”

She’s the captain of the cheerleading squad, dating the quarterback, and is well on her way to becoming the prom queen. Girls want to be her and guys want to be with her. She has it all — until she falls off the top of the cheerleading pyramid and goes into a coma. Fast forward 20 years later and Ruby finally wakes up from her coma as a 37-year-old woman. She goes back to her high school and tries to assume her role as the star of her school. Most of all, she is still set on winning the crown as prom queen.”
