Good news, BookTok: “Red, White & Royal Blue' is getting the film treatment. ❤️🤍💙

Matthew López, who made history on Sunday as the first Latiné playwright to win the Tony Award for best play, will have his feature directorial debut with the LGBTQ+ romantic comedy “Red, White & Royal Blue.” Theproduction is an adaptation of Casey McQuiston’s 2019 best-seller of the same name.
