Hayley Kiyoko's Girls Like Girls is getting the movie treatment, and fans are finally getting a look at the footage.
Kiyoko is an actress and singer-songwriter who is adding director to her resume. "Girls Like Girls" was the title of Kiyoko's 2015 song, which she later adapted into a book of the same name in 2025. Now, she's teaming up with Focus Features for a new film.

The new movie is also called Girls Like Girls and is described as "a heartfelt coming-of-age story set over the course of one sun-drenched summer, where new-girl-in-town Coley falls in love for the first time while learning to accept herself along the way." You can watch the trailer below:
Girls Like Girls stars Maya da Costa, Myra Molloy, Levon Hawke, and Zach Braff. The film is scheduled to be released in theaters on June 19th.

Kiyoko is a lesbian icon, so it's no surprise to see her tackling a queer romance. In addition to directing, Kiyoko co-wrote the film's script with Stefanie Scott.
Unsurprisingly, fans of Kiyoko are thrilled about the trailer and are ready to be seated come June. Here's a look at what the fandom is saying...

The gift that keeps on giving.
This is what happens when you let the artist cook for 10 years: song → novel → film. Next step: theme park ride where you slow-dance through your feelings. I'm seated and sobbing already.?
