Shannon Purser is back on Netflix with Sierra Burgess is a Loser, and the streaming service continues it’s romcom domination! Watch the trailer here!
A couple of years ago, “Justice for Barb” was a rallying cry to anyone who was attached to Shannon Purser’s character on Stranger Things. Barb may not have gotten justice, but Purser’s riding high with a starring role in Netflix’s next young adult romcom, Sierra Burgess is a Loser!
The official synopsis:
Sierra Burgess is a Loser is a modern rom-com retelling of the Cyrano de Bergerac story set in high school. The story centers on Sierra (Shannon Purser), an intelligent teen who does not fall into the shallow definition of high school pretty but, in a case of mistaken identity that results in unexpected romance, must team with the popular girl (Kristine Froseth) in order to win her crush. Also starring RJ Cyler, Noah Centineo, Chrissy Metz and Lea Thompson. {Via Netflix}
I imagine this one will be a big one for Netflix. They’re experiencing a pretty solid wave of successful romances. August’s young adult contribution will be To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before and historical romance wise we’ll have The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.
Take a look at the trailer for Sierra Burgess is a Loser below and let us know what you think!
Oh my goodness. This looks angsty and heartfelt. It asks the question we all wondered when we were teenagers, and even still as adults, “Who am I?” Well, this trip back to high school will make you cringe, nod along, and feel for Sierra. We can’t wait!
