Amelia Dimoldenberg, the creator and host of the hit interview series Chicken Shop Date, is taking her signature charm from YouTube to Hollywood. The British comedian and presenter has signed a deal with Amazon MGM Studios’ Orion Pictures to develop and star in a new romantic comedy.
Plot and Role
According to Variety, Dimoldenberg will play a by-the-book journalist whose orderly life is thrown into chaos when a professional interview unexpectedly takes a romantic turn, challenging everything she believes about love. The storyline promises to blend romance and comedy, capitalising on Amelia’s unique style of awkward yet endearing interactions.
She will also serve as a producer on the project, alongside Gloria Sanchez Productions, the same studio behind Olivia Wilde’s acclaimed debut, Booksmart.
Dimoldenberg’s Rise to Fame
The 32-year-old comedian has built her career around her quirky, flirtatious hosting style. On Chicken Shop Date, she became known for awkwardly teasing her celebrity guests, turning casual interviews into entertaining and viral moments.
Her charm has also translated to high-profile events. In 2022, Amelia stole the spotlight at the GQ Men of the Year Awards red carpet, engaging in a playful exchange with actor Andrew Garfield, who later appeared on Chicken Shop Date in 2024, delighting fans.
