The anime adaptation we saw previously of Oshi no Ko, which is getting a second season, it was inevitable that a live-action adaptation would be coming. Announced in January 2024, it’s coming together as it’s planned for a release this year with a live-action film that will be in theaters and a TV series on the Prime Video global service. The TV series is going first with a November 28th, 2024 debut on the service while the film will get a theatrical release on December 20th, 2024 – and presumably Prime Video worldwide streaming later.
A promo and poster were revealed for the project as well below. The film is directed by Smith while Hana Matsumoto is directing the TV series with them. Ayako Kitagawa is working on the scripts and screenplay.
The Japanese cast includes:
- Nagisa Saitō as Ruby
- Asuka Saitō as Ai

However, just before Ai gives birth, Gorō dies from an accident, but is reborn as one of Ai’s children, Aquamarine Hoshino, with his memories fully intact.
