The Kissing Booth star Joey King is set for another romantic movie, next appearing in supernatural drama The In Between.

The film from director Arie Posin has given fans a sneak peek of what to expect in a first trailer – and it sure looks like this is going to be a tearjerker.

King, also known for her roles in the first season of Fargo and The Act, features opposite West Side Story's Kyle Allen.

She plays Tessa, a troubled teenager with a talent for photography. The protagonist's no-nonsense, matter-of-fact attitude makes her wary of romantic relationships as she doesn't think she deserves her own love story.

Everything changes when she meets Allen's Skylar, an extremely romantic high school senior who manages to see beyond Tessa's sceptical attitude. The two teenagers rapidly fall for one another, but tragedy awaits.

When a car accident claims Skylar's life while Tessa survives, she believes her boyfriend is trying to connect with her from beyond the grave.

Following some supernatural occurrences, Tessa and her best friend attempt to contact Skylar one last time: *insert a mandatory ouija board scene*.

Will Tessa manage to say goodbye to Skylar and get back to the world of the living? And what unfinished business might Skylar, or rather his ghost, have?

The film also stars Celeste O'Connor, seen in Ghostbusters: Afterlife, as well as Gone Girl actress Kim Dickens and Silver Linings Playbook's John Ortiz.

The In Between will premiere in the US on Paramount+ on February 11. It will be distributed by Netflix globally with a TBC release date.
