The Weeknd's feature film debut "Hurry Up Tomorrow" has secured worldwide theatrical distribution through Lionsgate. The psychological thriller stars Abel "The Weeknd" Tesfaye alongside Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan, with direction by Trey Edward Shults.

The film accompanies The Weeknd's upcoming album of the same name, completing his trilogy after "Dawn FM" (2022) and "After Hours" (2020). Both the film score and album are created by The Weeknd in collaboration with Daniel Lopatin.

Production credits include:

• Production: Manic Phase (Tesfaye's company) and Reza Fahim
• Executive Producers: Jenna Ortega, Trey Edward Shults, Michael Rapino, and others
• Cinematography: Chayse Irvin
• Costume Design: Erin Benach and Hannah Jacobs

This marks The Weeknd's latest expansion into visual media following his co-creation and starring role in the 2023 series "The Idol." As one of Spotify's most-streamed artists, The Weeknd has sold over 75 million records throughout his career.

Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson praised Tesfaye's artistic vision, noting that the film will deliver "a new cinematic experience" for audiences worldwide.
