This Is Not a Drill: The Official Trailer for “Bottoms” Just Dropped
Two of our fave Gen Z funny girls, Bodies Bodies Bodies’ Rachel Sennott and The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri, are bringing us an all-new queer teen comedy movie called Bottoms. The two comedians are set to star in the hilarious coming-of-age flick, which was written and directed by Emma Seligman. Rachel, who wrote and starred in 2021’s Shiva Baby, also serves as a screenwriter for Bottoms, Elizabeth Banks, Max Handelman, and Alison Small, who all worked on Pitch Perfect, are credited as producers for the upcoming comedy.
Bottoms premiered at the 2023 SXSW festival in Austin, Texas on March 11, but we’re counting down the days until it arrives in theaters nationwide. Here’s everything we know about the upcoming release, from its plot to who’s been cast.
What is Bottoms about?
According to the film’s synopsis on SXSW's website, Bottoms will follow two unpopular queer high school seniors (played by Rachel and Ayo, respectively) who start a wrestling team in an attempt to impress and hook up with cheerleaders.
