Demi Lovato joins Netflix’s upcoming comedy feature, Eurovision.
The singer-actress will star opposite Will Ferrell as well as the previously announced Rachel McAdams and Pierce Brosnan.
The news was announced by Will Ferrell Tuesday with an Instagram video that doubled as a birthday shoutout to Lovato. The clip was captioned with “Happy Birthday #DemiLovato!!! Famous baker and star of Netflix’s Eurovision, Will Ferrell, made you a cake.”
Eurovision follows a pair of aspiring Icelandic musicians, played by Ferrell and McAdams, who are given the opportunity of a lifetime to represent their country at the annual song contest. Brosnan stars as Ferrell’s character’s dad, most handsome man in Iceland. Lovato will play Katiana, one of the best and most angelic singers in all of Iceland.
Eurovision will mark Lovato’s first movie appearance since 2010’s Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam.
Ferrell co-wrote Eurovision with longtime collaborator, Adam McKay. David Dobkin (Wedding Crashers) is on board as director. McKay will also serve as executive producer on the project.
