The musical tackles adolescent mental illness, following a high schooler plagued with social anxiety who uses his classmate's suicide for his own emotional gain. The film will be directed by Stephen Chbosky ("Wonder") from a screenplay by Steve Levenson, who also wrote the book for the stage musical. Ben Platt will reprise his stage role as the film's title character.
Marc Platt and Adam Siegel are producing the film adaptation through Marc Platt Productions, while Pasek, Levenson and Paul will executive produce.
Dever can next be seen in two anthology series, an untitled BJ Novak project which also stars Lucas Hedges, and Annapurna Television's "Monsterland".
