Based on the popular children’s series and due to hit theaters February 19, 2027, the CG-animated, big-screen foray follows JJ—the protagonist dating back to the original CoComelon YouTube videos—and his friends as they embark on “a cinematic journey filled with original music and rich storytelling.”

Beyond SNL‘s season finale airing this weekend, she next can be seen in Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, a meta slasher film directed by Jane Schoenbrun (I Saw the TV Glow) and due out August 7.
