In Famous, Efron will take on dual roles as Lance Dunkquist, an overzealous fan with a striking resemblance to Hollywood star James Jansen, and as James Jansen himself.

According to Deadline, the plot follows Lance's journey from a small-town dreamer to a man on a quest to become famous, driven by his uncanny resemblance to Jansen.

Dynevor, who gained fame as Daphne Basset in Netflix's Bridgerton, also worked on Netflix thriller Fair Play, which premiered at Sundance 2023 and earned her a BAFTA nomination.

Her upcoming project, Inheritance, is slated for release in 2025.
