Jenna Ortega and Percy Hynes-White in “Winter Spring Summer or Fall.”
Winter Spring Summer or Fall — a romantic drama starring Jenna Ortega and her former Wednesday co-star Percy Hynes White — is coming soon to digital streaming and theaters.
Directed by Tiffany Paulsen, Winter Spring Summer or Fall held its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in June of 2024.
Ortega stars in the film as Remi, a genius high school who is Harvard-bound after high school. Remi begins to rethink her path, though, after she meets her neighbor’s best friend, Barnes (Hynes White), who is not sure of his next step and is taking a gap year after high school.
Facing uncertainty over where their relationship will go, Remi and Barnes experience different twists and turns over the course of a year, through winter, spring, summer and fall.
Written by Dan Schoffer, Winter Spring Summer or Fall also stars Adam Rodriguez and Marisol Nichols as Remi’s parents, Javier and Carmen.
Paramount Pictures announced in YouTube video Monday that Winter Spring Summer or Fall will be released on digital streaming via premium video on demand on Friday, April 25. The film will also open in limited release in theaters the same day.
Winter Spring Summer or Fall is listed for pre-order for $18.99 on Prime Video, which will also be the film’s purchase price. Since PVOD titles generally are $5 less than purchase prices, viewers can expect to rent Winter Spring Summer or Fall for 48 hours for $13.99.
In additon to Prime Video, the film will be available on a variety of digital platforms including AppleTV and Fandango at Home.
Director Says The Timing Was Perfect To Get Jenna Ortega For ‘Winter Spring Summer Or Fall’
In a Zoom conversation prior to the world premiere of Winter Spring Summer or Fall at the Tribeca Film Festival, director Tiffany Paulsen said she was lucky to land Jenna Ortega for the film because her career immediately shot into the stratosphere following the release of director Tim Burton’s Wednesday Season 1 on Netflix in 2022.
“It’s an interesting story in that we started shooting on Halloween day of 2022,” Paulsen said. “In order to get Jenna for the movie we had to do backflips and cartwheels and jump through so many hoops … we only had a little window of time. I think it was 11 days.”
On top of that, Percy Hynes White played a key role in Wednesday Season 1 as well.
“We had to shut down production for three weeks in order to allow her and Percy to do all the Wednesday press. I think Jenna went to the Brazil Comic-Con and she was traveling,” recalled Paulsen. “Then Wednesday premiered and she came back to us as this global phenomenon had exploded and we shot the rest of the movie. So, we got her at this very interesting and monumentally exciting time in her career.”
Paulsen, who makes her directorial debut with Winter Spring Summer or Fall, has previously written the screenplays for such hits as Holidate, Nancy Drew and the remake of Adventures in Babysitting.
Now, with her first film as a director under her belt, Paulsen said she couldn’t have asked for a better star to work with to kick off her career as a director.
“In the first couple of days of shooting, I felt for my first movie I had really won the lottery to have this girl and her talent and this story,” Paulsen said. “I don’t know what more I could have asked for.”
Rated R, Winter Spring Summer or Fall, starring Jenna Ortega and Percy Hynes White, arrives on digital streaming and in limited release in theaters on April 25.
