Ayesha Curry is set to star in Roku's holiday rom-com, "Second Chance Holiday," premiering Nov. 5, Roku announced Tuesday. The film marks Curry's debut in a feature film leading role. Roku shared the news with a trailer released on social media. The channel first announced the movie in July with Curry, the wife of Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry, as the headliner. The trailer and release date were not made available until Tuesday.
Curry will star alongside Matthew Daddario, the brother of movie star Alexandra Daddario. "It's an honor to be part of Second Chance Holiday alongside such a talented cast and crew," Curry said in a July statement. "There's something truly magical about holiday rom-coms. They invite you into these charming, cozy worlds where anything feels possible."
The film follows Curry as a dating expert looking to break a "curse" of frequently getting dumped during the holiday season, according to Roku. She is reunited with her high school crush, played by Daddario, and wonders if the bad luck is the universe's way of pushing her back to her first love.
Stephen and Ayesha have been married for 15 years and share four children together. The four-time NBA champion responded to the trailer on X, calling Ayesha his "leading lady." Though Ayesha has never secured a leading film role, she has experience on screen, most recently in the animated movie "GOAT," which her husband produced and in which he also appeared. She has also been credited for appearances in Disney's "Hannah Montana" and "Good Luck Charlie" and HBO's "Ballers."
