Ready to dive into a world of drama and stunning performances? Buckle up for a journey into the deeply emotional parting of William Shakespeare and his wife, Agnes, in Chloe Zhao’s new movie, "Hamnet." Based on the acclaimed novel by Maggie O'Farrell, the film takes us right into the heart of the iconic literary couple's struggle with loss.

The story unfolds, as the power couple, played by celebrated actors Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley, grapples with the heartache following the death of their 11-year-old son, Hamnet. As they attempt to come to terms with this devastating loss, viewers get a behind-the-scenes look at how this personal tragedy sparks the genesis of one of Shakespeare's most beloved plays, "Hamlet."

Joe Alwyn enters the scene as Bartholomew, with exciting performances from Jacobi Jupe as Hamnet, and a stellar supporting cast that includes Emily Watson, Jack Shalloo and David Wilmot.

All the riveting drama you see on screen was penned by Zhao in a fruitful collaboration with novelist O’Farrell. With a production dream team that includes household names such as Steven Spielberg, Sam Mendes, Liza Marshall, Pippa Harris, Nicolas Gonda, Kristie Macosko Krieger, and Laurie Borg, "Hamnet" promises to be an epic cinematic experience.

Produced by Amblin Entertainment, Hera Pictures, Neal Street Productions, and Book of Shadows, the distribution reins for "Hamnet" are in the safe hands of Focus Features and Universal Pictures. The film will first make its tearful debut in a limited selection of theaters on November 27, before expanding its heart-wrenching tale nationwide on December 12.

Having etched her name in golden letters with Marvel’s “Eternals,” this film marks Chloe Zhao’s exciting follow-up. Zhao previously made history as the second woman to ever land the best director Oscar, courtesy of her outstanding feature “Nomadland,” which also bagged best picture and best actress for the phenomenal Frances McDormand. Other notable credits include "Songs My Brothers Taught Me" and "The Rider."

So, get ready to step into a world where grief leads to greatness, in the emotionally charged and spellbinding journey that is "Hamnet."
