When Fleabag<\/em>‘s second season hit screens, immediately the girls, gays and theys had one question on their lips: who<\/em> is the Hot Priest? That man turned out to be the incredible Irish actor Andrew Scott, who, according to reports, is now linking up with another hot Irish man (and incredible actor<\/a>): Paul Mescal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not only that, but it sounds like they will play lovers in a gay romance, helmed by Andrew Haigh, the director behind Weekend<\/em> \u2014 famously one of the best gay love stories to be shown on film \u2014 45 Years<\/em>, and\u00a0Lean on Pete.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Haigh has also brought on Rocketman<\/em>\u00a0actor Jamie Bell and\u00a0The Crown<\/em> alum Claire Foy to round out the cast of the drama, which is a\u00a0loose adaptation of the 1987 Japanese novel of the same name by Taichi Yamada, Strangers.<\/em><\/p>\n

LONDON, ENGLAND – DECEMBER 04: Andrew Scott attends the World Premiere and Royal Performance after party for “1917” at The Old Library, Guildhall, on December 04, 2019 in London, England. (Photo by Dave J Hogan\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

According to the film’s description, Strangers<\/em> follows a screenwriter (Scott) who, \u201cone night in his near-empty tower block in contemporary London, has a chance encounter with his mysterious neighbor Harry (Mescal) that punctures the rhythm of his everyday life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Adam and Harry get closer, Adam is pulled back to his childhood home” where he discovers that his long-dead parents (Foy and Bell) are both, in actual fact, very much living and look the same age as the day they died over 30 years ago, the film’s description reads. A plot twist if ever I read one.<\/p>\n

In a\u00a0recent\u00a0W<\/em>\u00a0magazine interview<\/a>, newly Oscar-nominated Mescal, for his role in Aftersun<\/em>, said he expects Strangers<\/em> to come out \u201cat the end of the year.” Until then, he’s busy shooting Ridley Scott’s\u00a0Gladiator<\/em> sequel.<\/p>\n

We can barely wait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9593,"featured_media":72933,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[23,16],"yoast_head":"\nAndrew Scott and Paul Mescal Are Starring in
