Prime Video\u2019s teen romcom How to Date Billy Walsh finally has a full trailer, starring Heartstopper<\/a>\u2018s Sebastian Croft and Bridgerton<\/a>\u2018s Charithra Chandran as misfit classmates looking for love.<\/p>\n

Archie (Croft) is hiding a long-held unrequited love for his best friend, Amelia (Chandran), while her sights are firmly set on the popular American exchange student Billy Walsh (played by Cobra Kai<\/a> star Tanner Buchanan).<\/p>\n

In a series of escalating schemes, Archie attempts to keep Amelia and Billy from getting close, but many of his ideas backfire and he risks losing the person he holds most dear.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a classic love triangle, with a starry supporting cast including Nick Frost (Fighting with My Family), Guz Khan (Man Like Mobeen<\/a>), Kunal Nayyar (The Big Bang Theory) and Lucy Punch (Motherland<\/a>).<\/p>\n
