Joey King‘s new movie The In Between is just one day away from premiering on Paramount+!

The In Between is a supernatural love story that centers on a teenage girl, Tessa (King), who, after bouncing around in foster homes for most of her childhood, doesn’t believe she deserves her own love story. Everything changes after she has a chance encounter with Skylar (Kyle Allen), a senior from a neighboring town who’s a true romantic. As her heart begins to open, tragedy strikes when a car accident takes Skylar’s life, while Tessa survives.

“I feel like it kind of just helps view death in a different light. Death is very scary. It’s hard to talk about and it’s especially hard to talk about with younger people. I feel like this movie, geared towards younger audiences, I feel for me anyway, it just kind of helped me put a different perspective on death and that it doesn’t always have to be a horrible scary thing. You can rework the way you feel about it to live a little bit more peacefully with it,” she said.

Joey was joined by her longtime boyfriend while doing her press tour in New York City.
