Sofia Carson (Purple Hearts) and Corey Mylchreest (Queen Charlotte) have been tapped for leading roles in Netflix‘s upcoming film adaptation of My Oxford Year, based on Julia Whelan’s 2018 romance novel of the same name.
This marks Carson’s latest collaboration with Netflix after previously starring in 2020’s dance comedy Feel the Beat and 2022’s romance drama Purple Hearts. The Descendants alum will next be seen in the action thriller film Carry-On, which will be led by Golden Globe winner Taron Egerton. As for Mylchreest, the British actor gained recognition last year for his leading performance in the Bridgerton prequel miniseries Queen Charlotte, in which he played the role of young King George III. The upcoming My Oxford Year movie will serve as Mylchreest’s feature-length acting debut.
