Additionally, Isa Mazzei (Cam, Faces of Death) will be writing the script!

From creator Violet Karim, Death of a Pop Star ” tells the supernatural story of Sophie, a beloved pop star at the top of her game — until she takes a tumble from the top of the stairs and wakes up in Hell. Lucky for her, the Grim Reaper is her number one fan and, in a desperate attempt to save his idol, secretly gives Sophie a second chance at life back on Earth.

“But with Sophie’s resurrection comes a deadly target on her back when she’s threatened with being dragged back to Hell.”

Wattpad Webtoon Studios is behind the upcoming film adaptation.
