Lindsay Lohan Is The New Lady Whistledown In This U.K. Dating Show
Hopefully there are no mean girls.
When it comes to love stories, nothing is more dramatic than a high school crush. From passing notes in class to awkward school dances, high school can be a total minefield when it comes to dating, and viewers will get to re-experience those euphoric highs and cringey lows in Prime Video’s new dating competition series, Lovestruck High. And to make the show even more iconic, the queen of teen rom-coms herself, Lindsay Lohan, will be on board to oversee all the high school hijinks. Here’s when Lovestruck High will kick off its inaugural semester, and all the other details about the release date, cast, and trailer that fans should know.
The premise of Lovestruck High is all about reliving those awkward teenage crushes to find a perfect match. The U.K.-based series will introduce 15 single people into a high school environment, where they’ll date their classmates in hope of finding “the one.” But dating won’t be the only thing on their minds — the finale will also crown “Prom Royalty,” which comes with a $100,000 grand prize, according to Metro.
Overseeing it all is Lohan, who is lending her voice to the dating competition as its narrator. Given the U.K. setting and all the scandal that’s bound to erupt, Lohan’s voiceover role sounds like a modernized version of Bridgerton’s romance-obsessed gossipmonger Lady Whistledown. Of course, Lohan is no stranger to dramatizing high school dating life — throughout the mid-2000s, she was the queen of the teen rom-com genre, starring in hits like Freaky Friday, Mean Girls, and Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen.
Class is about to be in session, because Lovestruck High is opening its doors to its first students very soon.
