February 28, 2022

Disney+ has dropped the official Better Nate Than Ever trailer for its next coming-of-age comedy film, starring newcomer Rueby Wood and Emmy winner Lisa Kudrow. It will be available for streaming on Friday, April 1.

The video, which you can check out below along with the poster and stills, highlights a 13-year-old kid’s big dreams of becoming a Broadway star. With the help of his best friend and aunt, he embarks on a journey to land his first Broadway role. It also gives us a preview of the two original songs titled, “Big Time” and “#GoAwf,” which were written for the film.

Better Nate Than Ever is a feel-good comedy adventure with showstopping musical numbers. It stars Rueby Wood, Lisa Kudrow (Friends), Joshua Bassett (High School Musical: The Musical: The Series), Aria Brooks (All That), Michelle Federer (New Amsterdam), and Norbert Leo Butz (Wonder Park).

“In the film, 13-year-old Nate Foster has big Broadway dreams,” reads the synopsis. “There’s only one problem — he can’t even land a part in the school play. But when his parents leave town, Nate and his best friend Libby sneak off to the Big Apple for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to prove everyone wrong. A chance encounter with Nate’s long-lost Aunt Heidi turns his journey upside-down, and together they must learn that life’s greatest adventures are only as big as your dreams.”

Better Nate Than Ever is written and directed by Tim Federle (Ferdinand), based on his award-winning debut novel of the same name. Executive producers are Federle and Pamela Thur, with Marc Platt and Adam Siegel set as producers.
