Spanish pop star Rosalía is in early negotiations for a significant role in Alma Har’el's upcoming film ‘Wet’, her most substantial film role yet.
Spanish Grammy-winning artist Rosalía is reportedly in early discussions to join the cast of Alma Har’el’s anticipated family drama ‘Wet’, which may become her most significant film role yet. Deadline confirmed the news on September 9, 2026. While no formal agreement is in place yet, sources indicate that negotiations are moving forward positively. If a deal is finalized, it would mark a pivotal point in the pop megastar's career as she transitions from music to acting.
Directing this exciting project is Alma Har’el, known for her critically acclaimed film ‘Honey Boy’. The cast also includes high-profile actors such as Javier Bardem and Rebecca Ferguson. Though details about the plot remain largely under wraps, the screenplay—co-written by Har’el and Christian Stangeby—is said to evoke themes similar to HBO’s ‘Succession’ and the Oscar-nominated film ‘Triangle of Sadness’, with the story reportedly unfolding aboard a luxurious super yacht. The opulent setting promises to elevate both the emotional stakes and visual appeal of the film.
Rosalía has dipped her toes into acting before, with a cameo in Pedro Almodóvar’s ‘Pain And Glory’ and a supporting role in the third season of HBO's ‘Euphoria’. Her potential role in ‘Wet’ could signify a substantial expansion of her artistic reach, allowing her to explore complex characters and narratives, further showcasing her versatility as a performer. Given her successful transition into this new domain, audiences are likely to be intrigued by her character and its development throughout the film.
The combination of Har’el's storytelling prowess and Rosalía's global appeal positions ‘Wet’ to attract a varied audience, merging both music fans and cinema lovers. This film could draw heightened interest in international markets, especially if filming occurs in Spain, as sources suggest. Additionally, the film is set to be featured in the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) market, amplifying its visibility among industry buyers and enthusiasts alike. The buzz surrounding this project appears to be growing stronger, making it one of the season's most notable titles.
As negotiations continue, there will be keen interest from both fans and industry insiders to determine if Rosalía secures the role, a move that could further blur the lines between music and film. The backing from prominent producers like Fifth Season and Chris Leggett may enhance the film's chances of success, bolstered by its attractive shooting schedule set for early next year. However, the specifics surrounding the release timeline remain undisclosed. To stay updated on developments related to ‘Wet’, monitor Deadline for further announcements regarding casting and production progress. This collaboration not only has the potential to redefine Rosalía’s career but also to enrich the intricate narrative world being crafted by Alma Har’el.
