Rebel Wilsonhas unfinished business, and first and foremost is winning prom queen.
The 42-year-old actress stars in Netflix’s high school comedySenior Year, in which she plays a woman who wakes up from a 20-year-long coma that she fell into during a cheerleading accident her senior year. Poised to be crowned prom queen, she didn’t get to finish out her high school experience and get her moment — so she decides to head back to class, even if times have changed without her.
“Everybody else has gotten to go on and live their lives, and what? I’m supposed to just jump forward? I mean, Ijustfound out there are eight moreFast & Furiousmovies!” Wilson’s character says in the trailer. “I wanna go back to school, finish my senior year. … High school was just like yesterday for me, it won’t be weird.”
Wilson rocks her stunted early-2000s wardrobe to school as she gets to know modern teen life while learning newfound confidence along the way.
“I’m gonna do something that I wish I had the confidence to do 20 years ago: be my real self,” she says.
