After returning to live duty this spring for the first time in two years, Phoebe Bridgers makes a brief appearance in the trailer for the new Robert Pattinson-starring film Primetime, which hits theaters this fall. It serves as the artist’s proper acting debut, although her specific role has yet to be detailed.
The A24-produced Primetime features Pattinson as Dateline NBC journalist Chris Hansen, who hosted To Catch a Predator from 2004 to 2007 and captivated viewers with dramatic, on-air arrests of alleged pedophiles and sex offenders. The show was canceled in early 2008, two years after a man being pursued by the show committed suicide while law enforcement and crew members arrived at his residence.

Bridgers suddenly re-emerged earlier this month with a series of surprise small-venue shows, during which she has debuted more than half a dozen new songs. SPIN can reveal that the artist’s next album, the follow-up to 2020’s Punisher, will be released by Dead Oceans before year’s end.
Bridgers has kept a low profile since wrapping promotion for her side band boygenius’ 2023 album The Record. Until a couple weeks ago, she hadn’t been onstage under her own name since a run opening for Taylor Swift in North American stadiums in the spring of 2023.
As for Pattinson, Primetime joins a crowded slate of upcoming projects, including Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, a role in Dune: Part Three, Netflix’s Here Comes the Flood with Denzel Washington and a sequel to The Batman, in which he played the title character.
