Maia Mitchell Joins ‘Riverdale’s’ KJ Apa In ‘The Last Summer’
The Foster’s Maia Mitchell has joined the cast of The Last Summer alongside Riverdale’s KJ Apa as his love interest.
The Last Summer follows a group of high school grads living in Chicago the summer before they go to college. Mitchell will be playing a character named Phoebe who is “a budding filmmaker in the midst of shooting a documentary about her peers.” The romantic comedy will be directed by Bill Bindley who co-wrote it with Scott Bindley. It will start principal photography later this month.
Mitchell is coming off of five seasons of The Foster’s, which will air a three-part finale later this summer, and will then star in the spinoff with Fosters co-star Cierra Ramirez.
Are you excited to see the two teen drama small screen stars team up on the big screen?
Having studied Media & Writing at James Madison University, I always knew that I wanted to do some type of creative writing, but being able to write about zombies, Starks, and superheroes on a daily basis for Fan Fest is my actual dream. While I probably shouldn’t be as proud as I am to be so similar to Nick Miller, I do hope to one day write my own “Pepperwood Chronicles’.
