Hayley Kiyoko Just Casted the Lead Roles for Her 'Girls Like Girls' Movie
On June 24 (aka the 10th anniversary of the music video), Hayley dropped major news about the upcoming flick and revealed which young actors would take on the lead roles of Coley and Sonya with a sweet social media post.
'Today is the 10 year anniversary of the release of 'girls like girls' - the music video. What a journey it's been, and continues to be. I am beyond grateful to all of you who have been on this wild ride with me since the very beginning,' the 'Curious' singer wrote, in part.
She continued, 'So here we are, a decade later, meeting the lead actors of our film for the first time. A film that up until now was just a crazy dream that has now come to life. 😭 Here are the moments when I finally got to share the exciting news with each of them. These girls' performances are going to blow you away. This is only the beginning…'
Per Deadline, the upcoming movie 'tells the universal story of falling in love for the first time and learning to accept yourself along the way.' Girls Like Girls will star Maya da Costa (Under The Bridge) as Coley and Myra Molloy (He's All That) as Sonya.
The original music video showcases a blossoming romance between two female best friends as one of them navigates a toxic relationship with a guy. It starred Stefanie Scott as Coley, Kelsey Chow as Sonya, and Hayden Thompson as Trenton.
Hayley and Stefanie co-wrote the screenplay of the upcoming film, while Marc Platt Productions, Michael Philip, Jason Moring, and Richard Alan Reid are set to produce.
Details on a release date are currently slim, but till then, we'll be reliving Hayley's classic video:

Is ‘The Wheel of Time' returning for season 4? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on July 26, 2025, 18:00 IST Last updated July 26, 2025, 11:18 IST Fans of The Wheel of Time are still buzzing from the epic Season 3 finale that hit Prime Video on April 18, 2025. The show, adapted from Robert Jordan's massive 14-book fantasy saga, has delivered stunning visuals, gripping drama, and a world that keeps viewers hooked. But the burning question remains: Will there be a Season 4? Here's everything we know so far. Has The Wheel of Time Been Renewed for Season 4? As of July 2025, Prime Video has not greenlit The Wheel of Time for a fourth season, and some tough news has surfaced. Reports from Deadline and Radio Times confirm the show was canceled after Season 3 due to financial reasons. With a reported $260 million spent on the first two seasons alone, the production is a costly beast. While Season 3 pulled in over 530 million minutes watched during its premiere week (per Nielsen), the viewership apparently didn't match the high costs for Amazon's liking. Season 3 earned strong praise, with a 77/100 on Metacritic and 81% on Rotten Tomatoes, but the numbers didn't add up for the streamer. That said, hope isn't entirely lost. The show's team remains passionate, with whispers of potentially shopping the series to other platforms. However, TV Line notes that 'well-placed sources' say there are no current plans to pitch it elsewhere. Fans of shows like The Expanse , which found a new home after cancellation, know that miracles can happen, but it's a long shot for now. When Will Season 4 Release? If another platform picks up the show or Amazon reconsiders, don't expect Season 4 anytime soon. The series' complex production, with its detailed sets and heavy VFX, takes time. Season 1 launched in November 2021, Season 2 in September 2023, and Season 3 in March 2025—roughly 18 to 24 months apart. If filming begins in late 2025 or early 2026, a release could land in late 2027 or early 2028. Patience is key for epic fantasy!

If you have 90 minutes to spare, play the cyberpunk horror game s.p.l.i.t
s.p.l.i.t is the most badass typing game I've ever played. It's actually more of a hacking simulator, cyberpunk thriller and puzzle experience than a typing game, but its core loop is bookended by sequences of high-intensity letter pecking with gruesome consequences — think Mavis Beacon as designed by Ted Kaczynski — and the final scenes have a way of searing themselves into your psyche. Not to mention, the whole thing takes place on a keyboard, no mouse or gamepad. So I guess it's technically only a typing game, but it's also not a traditional typing game at all. Trust me, it makes perfect sense in practice. s.p.l.i.t comes from Unsorted Horror and Buckshot Roulette developer Mike Klubnika, and it features his signature layers of grit, retro hardware and purely concentrated nightmares. In s.p.l.i.t , you're seated at a '90s-style computer terminal in a cramped, gray-washed shack. The world appears in PS2-era 3D graphics, and you're surrounded by distended black screens crawling with orange monospaced text. To your left, a window looks onto a dense forest. To your right, there's an electronic device in a lockbox. By pressing Alt and A or D, you're able to twist your torso to interact with two separate screens: One displays an active IRC channel with your co-conspirators, and the other is where the hacking takes place. The narrative unfurls in strings of data logs, file directories, command prompts and instant messages, while a bed of ambient industrial music pulses in hypnotic waves. You're attempting to gain root access to a facility where mysterious but clearly unethical things are taking place, and you're working with two colleagues, Sarah and Viktor, to infiltrate the systems. Sarah and Vikor's messages automatically appear in the chat box, each one accompanied by a satisfying bloop sound, and when it's your time to respond the SEND button flashes once, prompting you to type. It doesn't matter which keys you press while chatting, as lines of pre-written dialogue will appear to push the narrative along smoothly. Sarah, Viktor and the player character, Axel, have distinct personalities and they clash in believable ways. The game does a fantastic job of building robust characters in such a short time, through dialogue alone. On the hacking side, it very much matters which keys you press. You are in full control of the typing while digging through the facility's files, so spacing, capitalization, punctuation and spelling are all taken into account, alongside use of the proper commands. This portion of the game is a maze of directories and data, operating as one big logic puzzle. Your colleagues outline the goals but once you're in the system, you're on your own, relying on context clues to figure out what information you need and how to gain access. The hacking riddles in s.p.l.i.t are perfectly complex, requiring failure and tenacity to work out, and this balance makes each victory feel like a real accomplishment. Typing 'help' at any time pulls up a list of all possible commands, and I found this screen useful whenever I hit a dead end in my investigations — it's a natural way to mentally reset and visualize any unexplored paths. The 'print' command functions as a notepad, allowing you to save relevant numbers and other information on a strip of paper attached to the PC screen, and it's a useful tool especially in the game's later stages. I'm no coder, but I got used to the keyboard style of navigation really quickly. There's a strong sense of internal logic in s.p.l.i.t and it's satisfying to play in this sandbox, learning the game's language and steadily building skills as the narrative tension grows. The first-person interface, rhythmic electronic soundtrack and consistent characters combine to make s.p.l.i.t an incredibly immersive experience. It all pays off in a massive way by the end, when the typing game returns and things really get gruesome. s.p.l.i.t tests critical-thinking skills and keyboard proficiency in a dystopian near-future setting, and it's a uniquely unnerving, heart-pounding slice of interactive psychological horror. It's no more than a few hours long, but it's something you'll think about for days after the credits roll, guaranteed. s.p.l.i.t is available now on Steam for just $2.50 through July 31, and $3 after that.
