Singer Halsey to star in HBO Max show 'The Players Table'

Based on Jessica Goodman’s bestselling debut novel ''They Wish They Were Us'', the show will feature the 26-year-old singer opposite ''Euphoria'' star Sydney Sweeney, reported Deadline. 

Annabelle Attanasio will write and direct the project, which will be a co-production between HBO Max and Endeavor Content. 

The show is set in the affluent town of Gold Coast, Long Island, a community sustained by lies, complicity, and absolute moral decay. 

The story follows two young women (Halsey and Sweeney) who come of age as they unravel the mystery of a classmate's murder. But in order to understand what happened to their friend, they must first confront what's happened to them. 

Attanasio will also serve as executive producer alongside Goodman and Dre Ryan. Halsey will co-executive produce.
