Adria Arjona is ready to party…
The 24-year-old Guatemalan and Puerto Rican actress has signed on to star in Melissa McCarthy’s upcoming college-set comedy Life of the Party.
Described as in the vein of Rodney Dangerfield’s 1986 comedy Back to School, Life of the Party stars McCarthy, Maya Rudolph, Gillian Jacobs, Jacki Weaver, Molly Gordon and Jessie Ennis and hits theaters May 11, 2018.
Arjona is set to play “a sorority sister with issues.”
Ben Falcone directs Life of the Party from a script he co-wrote with McCarthy.
Life of the Party begins filming this week in Atlanta.
Arjona next will be seen starring in NBC’s Emerald City opposite Vincent D’Onofrio and MGM’s The Belko Experiment, written and produced by James Gunn and set to premiere at TIFF next month.
Her credits also include HBO’s True Detective and Netflix’s Narcos.
