The article shifts focus to Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal, reuniting for the upcoming romance drama "Hold On To Your Angels." Directed and written by Oscar-nominated Benh Zeitlin ("Beasts of the Southern Wild"), the film stars Mescal as an outlaw and Buckley as a shepherd of lost souls in South Louisiana. Their characters' doomed romance forms the heart of the story, which Plan B and Rapt Film collaborate on, with international sales handled by The Veterans and domestic distribution by CAA Media Finance. Set for Cannes March 2026, production begins in February 2027.

Zeitlin describes the film as "the most impossible love story," emphasizing its emotional depth and mission to promote compassion in a divided world. Plan B praises his storytelling prowess, while Coco highlights Zeitlin's ability to capture "profound beauty and humanity" in unexpected places. Both actors previously starred in the Oscar-winning "Hamnet," where Buckley won Best Actress and Mescal earned a Best Actor nomination.

The film, directed by Chloé Zhao, centers on Agnes Hathaway (Buckley) and William Shakespeare (Mescal) in 16th-century England, exploring their relationship and the tragic loss of their son Hamnet to plague. No official release date has been announced yet.

Buckley, born December 28, 1989, in Killarney, Ireland, is an actress and singer known for "The Lost Daughter," "Hamnet," and "I'd Do Anything."
