Halsey set to make her acting debut in buzzy new series Players Table
They first teamed up on the music video for her song Graveyard last year.
And now, Halsey ‘simply cannot wait’ to make her official major acting debut alongside friend and Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney in a new series entitled The Players Table.
The singer, 25, uploaded a sumptuous and fashion-heavy spread of images by Southern California-based photographer Sam Dameshek on Wednesday, posing with Sydney, 22, to share the news.
In the images, the Without Me songstress posed in a lovely sheer brown two-piece set from the label Inamorata by Emily Ratajkowski, with her dark hair done in cornrow braids.
Halsey, born Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, accessorized with a gold charm choker and belly necklace, along with matching small hoop earrings.
Sydney complemented her friend in an orange two-piece set from the same fashion label, at one point sporting retro Seventies-style specs.
The actress, most known for her role as delicate and sensual teen Cassie Howard in the hit HBO series Euphoria, also held a video camera in one frame, which Halsey posed in front of with her lips pursed in a kiss.
The pair of beauties also lounged on a purple love seat with Halsey holding an art book about American artist Donald Judd.
In her caption, the Edison, New Jersey-born diva identified several key players involved in their new project, including writer-director Annabelle Attanasio and Big Little Lies director Jean-Marc Vallée, who’s set to co-produce The Players Table
Halsey also revealed she will serve as co-producer.
Her caption read: ‘I am the luckiest girl in the world because I get to make my acting debut with my favorite human-being @sydney_sweeney, on a tv adaptation of an amazing book by @jessicagoodman, to be written/adapted + directed by one of the greatest @annabelleattanasio’
‘And wildest of all,’ she continued, ‘I will also be a PRODUCER on the series with some of my idols JEAN-MARC VALLÉE + NATHAN ROSS @crazyrosefilms with Sydney’s Fifty-Fifty Films @fiftyfiftyfilms! You guys are gonna fall in love with The Players Table. I simply cannot wait…. photos by @samdameshek’
It was announced some weeks ago that Sweeney was involved in the project both as star and producer, through her nascent production company Fifty-Fifty Films.
The new series is based on Jessica Goodman’s bestselling debut novel They Wish They Were Us, following a secret society of students at an exclusive Long Island prep school embroiled in the death of a friend three years prior.
Halsey and Sweeney met and hit it off on the set of the music video for hit track Graveyard, which went on to be nominated for an MTV Video Music Award.
The news comes after last Friday’s report that Halsey was has started a relationship with actress Cara Delevingne, three months after their respective exes G-Eazy and Ashley Benson got together.
