UPDATE (September 8, 2021): Netflix has unveiled the first teaser trailer for Don't Look Up, the upcoming sci-fi dramedy starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence.

Directed by Adam McKay, the movie features DiCaprio and Lawrence as two low-level astronomers, who warn society of an imminent apocalypse caused by an approaching comet. In the teaser video, the protagonists are seen confronting the president (Meryl Streep) and her son-slash-chief of staff (Jonah Hill) with the potential dangers if actions are not taken. The teaser is notably packed with cameo appearances from celebrities including Cate Blanchett, Tyler Perry, Ron Perlman, Ariana Grande, Kid Cudi and Timothée Chalamet.

ORIGINAL STORY (October 14, 2020): Ariana Grande, Timothée Chalamet and Kid Cudi will be joining Jennifer Lawrence in Don't Look Up, a new Netflix comedy directed by Adam McKay.

Best known for his lighthearted films like Anchorman, as well as his critically acclaimed 2015 drama The Big Short, the American filmmaker has assembled an incredible cast of A-listers for his upcoming project. According to Deadline, Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Rob Morgan, Matthew Perry and Yesterday star Himesh Patel are also part of the all-star ensemble.

Don't Look Up will follow a pair of low-level astronomers who attempt to warn humans of an approaching asteroid that will destroy the planet. McKay is set to write, direct and co-produce the movie with Kevin Messick -- the duo has previously worked together on the popular HBO series Succession. Variety reports that filming will begin before the end of 2020.

While not much else has been confirmed, fans -- as well as the actors themselves -- are already expressing excitement over Don't Look Up. "Excited isn't even the word. To be a part of this epic cast is unreal," Kid Cudi writes in an Instagram post. "And my first movie [with] my brother Timmy. God is good."
