After sweeping all the major awards at the Academy Awards, A24 is showing no signs of stopping! The studio has recently announced the star-studded cast for Y2K, a disaster comedy set to be directed by Saturday Night Live alum Kyle Mooney. 

Jaeden Martell, Rachel Zegler, and Julian Dennison lead the ensemble cast, including Lachlan Watson, Mason Gooding, rapper The Kid Laroi, Tim Heidecker, Eduardo Franco, and Miles Robbins, Alicia Silverstone, Fred Hechinger, and Daniel Zolghadri.

Written by Evan Winter, the movie is set on December 31, 1999. It follows two high schoolers who set out to enjoy the last party of the millennium before chaos and hilarity ensue. 

In the next month, A24 has two films premiering, including Kelly Reichardt’s Showing Up starring Michelle Willams and Ari Aster’s horror-comedy Beau Is Afraid starring Joaquin Pheonix. 

A24 will finance the film and market it worldwide. Matt Dines, Ali Goodwin, Jonah Hill, and Christopher Storer are joining the producing team. 

Mooney, no stranger to comedy, was an SNL cast member from 2013-2022 and has since written, directed, produced, and starred in numerous films and television shows, including Robert Schwartzman’s The Unicorn, Augustine Frizzell’s A24 comedy Never Goin’ Back, Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising and Hello, My Name Is Doris.
