The project is being produced by the Daniels and Jonathan Wang through their company Playgrounds under its overall agreement with Universal.
PinkPantheress rose to prominence in 2021 after sharing her blend of R&B, alternative pop and UK garage-inspired music on TikTok and SoundCloud.

The 25-year-old received two Grammy Award nominations this year for “Illegal” and Fancy That. She also became the first woman and youngest recipient of the BRIT Award for Producer of the Year.
Her recent achievements include being named Variety’sYoung Hollywood Music Innovator of the Year in 2025, earning a place on the 2025 Mercury Prize shortlist and securing her first number one on the Billboard Global 200 with “Stateside + Zara Larsson”.
The Daniels’ untitled film is scheduled for release in cinemas on November 19, 2027.
