Bella Thorne is about to go full “Spring Breakers.” The former Disney star has revealed that in addition to starring in an upcoming sequel to Harmony Korine’s 2012 cult classic, she’s also directing and writing the film.

Variety exclusively announced the sequel and its cast in May 2025, which also includes “Stranger Things” breakout Grace Van Dien, Ariel Martin (“Zombies 2”) and True Whitaker (“I Love L.A.”). At the time, “Freeway” helmer Matthew Bright was attached to direct, but Thorne said in an interview on Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy” podcast that she has now stepped into the director’s chair.
