Charli D’Amelio Is Making Her Acting Debut in Home School

Lights, camera, action! Charli D’Amelio has landed her first starring role, in the horror flick Home School.
 
In the upcoming movie—which will serve as the first in an eight-film franchise of supernatural thrillers—the competitive dancer will play a 17-year-old named Mira who moves to a different town to live with her aunt after her mother dies. According to the movie’s synopsis, “After arriving in what seems like the all-too-perfect town, Mira discovers that her mother’s death and her own future are intertwined supernaturally.”
 
After she landed the game-changing lead, Charli, 17, exclusively told E! News how much this role means to her.
 
“Acting has actually been a goal of mine for quite some time now,” she said. “But I really wanted to take the time to look at a lot of different genres, scripts, and roles. I am a huge fan of horror and thriller movies, and as soon as I read Home School, I knew it was for me.”
