What do we see in the Girls Like Girls trailer?

Per the official synopsis, the Girls Like Girls trailer previews a “heartfelt coming-of-age story set over the course of one sun-drenched summer, where new-girl-in-town Coley falls in love for the first time while learning to accept herself along the way.”

The cast of the movie includes Maya da Costa and Myra Molloy. In addition to directing, Kiyoko also co-wrote the script with Stefanie Scott. Marc Platt, Katie McNicol, Dee Best, Michael Philip, Jason Moring, and Richard Alan Reid serve as producers on the project.

A description of the Girls Like Girls book reads, “It’s summertime and 17-year-old Coley has found herself alone, again. Forced to move to rural Oregon after just losing her mother, she is in no position to risk her already fragile heart. But when she meets Sonya, the attraction is immediate. Coley worries she isn’t worthy of love. Up until now, everyone she’s loved has left her. And Sonya’s never been with a girl before. What if she’s too afraid to show up for Coley? What if by opening her heart, Coley’s risking it all? They both realize that when things are pushed down, and feelings are forced to shrivel away, Coley and Sonya will be the ones to shrink. It’s not until they accept the love they fear and deserve most, that suddenly the song makes sense.”

Girls Like Girls arrives on June 19, 2026.
