On Monday, Disney confirmed a brand new romantic comedy action thriller titled ‘Wedding Season’ would premiere in September. As a result, the series will become the first UK original to land on the streaming giant.
Describing the show as “genre-busting,” Disney revealed Wedding Season would follow the lives of Katie (played by Rosa Salazar) and Stefan (Gavin Drea).
After meeting at a wedding, the two hit off and began an affair, even though Katie is engaged with a fiance.
Two months at her own wedding, Katie’s new husband and his entire family are brutally murdered.
Although the police suspect Stefan was involved with the deaths, he has a suspicion it was Katie.
With everyone still unaware of the murderer’s identity, both Katie and Stefan went on the run to prove their innocence.
The action thriller will be set across the UK and the US as it follows the main characters fleeing from blame.
