Halsey's Acting Debut Series Not Released Yet
The series has been in the works for over three years now, but the show has not been released to the public yet.
The last update was in 2022 when Sweeney revealed that she and her team are writing scripts for the show.
"We are in the process of writing the episodes, so it's quite a long process. Everything that you see, before anyone ever gets cast in a project, is years and years of work. It's years of packaging a project," she said. (via Showbiz Cheatsheet)
She added that the show is worth "years of developing a pitch" and years of convincing people to believe in her for them to invest or put their money on the show.
In other updates, Halsey's last album titled "If I Can't Have Love, I Have Power" was released in 2021. Although she hasn't dropped any new record, she released "Die 4 Me," the solo version of her collaboration with Post Malone and Future.
