EXCLUSIVE: Not yet a year into his expensive five-year deal with Netflix, Ryan Murphy is about to deliver his biggest get for the streamer. Deadline hears he will direct and produce the feature adaptation of the Tony-nominated stage musical The Prom and has secured a cast that puts Netflix in new starpower territory.

Meryl Streep will star alongside James Corden, Nicole Kidman and Ariana Grande, with Awkwafina, Keegan-Michael Key and Andrew Rannells playing key roles. Sources said Murphy will get underway directing the film adaptation of the Broadway hit in December, for a fall 2020 awards season release in theaters before it airs on the streamer.

In Prom, Streep will play Dee Dee Allen, a two-time Tony winner who teams with Corden's Barry Glickman in a flop musical about Eleanor Roosevelt. After career-ending reviews, they decide — along with Broadway babies Kidman as Angie Dickinson and Rannells (Book of Mormon) as Trent Oliver — to champion a cause to rehabilitate their careers. They find one in Emma, a high school senior in Indiana who isn't allowed to take her girlfriend to the prom. A nationwide search led by casting director Alexa Fogel is on to fill the role of Emma.

Just the inclusion of the word 'Corden' is enough to turn me away. Why are you so obsessed with that asshole, America?

Having seen the show, the role Corden is playing kinda fits him. I find Corden a bit irritating as a host, but he's solid enough in musicals.

So just Streep and Kidman then

 

[Znazzy]

James Corden? Vomit.

Ugh, James Corden? That's a shame

I'm here for Awkwafina. She is insanely talented.

Love me some Keegan too.

Apparently Keegan Micheal Kay is playing Meryl Streep's love interest.

They had me until they mentioned James Cordon.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

James Corden? Yeah I'm out, could have been great otherwise

"insane cast" is an overstatement.
