Modern Family's Sarah Hyland and The Flash favourite Keiynan Lonsdale headline the first trailer for queer rom-com My Fake Boyfriend.

Directed by Rose Troche (Black Lightning) from a Luke Albright, Joe Wanjai Ross and Greg Boaldin script, this movie will be released on Friday, June 17 over on Prime Video.

It concerns a guy called Andrew, whose best mates convince him to create an imaginary partner in order to get over a recent break-up.

"The hamster wheel of your addiction to Nico has to be destroyed..." goes the pitch.

"As Cristiano (the fake 'fella) goes viral and becomes a worldwide sensation, Andrew meets his real-life dream guy, Rafi, a charming restaurant owner," teases an official synopsis.

"Now, Andrew must find a way to put an end to the fake fling, evade his jealous ex, and win Rafi's heart in this fun and hilarious comedy about the crazy things we do for love."

Judging by the trailer (viewable at the top of this article), Prime Video subscribers are in for a right treat, with plenty of laughs in store alongside the romance.

"We couldn't be more thrilled to be partnering with our friends at BuzzFeed on this fun romantic comedy."
