Netflix is going down the rabbit hole for their latest project. The streaming giant is developing a movie adaptation of the classic fantasy story “Alice In Wonderland,” The Hollywood Reporter reports. The upcoming film will bring together the same team behind the popular dance movie Work It, which premiered on Netflix earlier this year.

Work It star Sabrina Carpenter is set to play the lead in the new “Alice in Wonderland” film titled Alice, which will put a modern spin on the well-known Lewis Carroll tale. While few details about the project have been publicly revealed, we do know that it will be a musical and that it takes place at a music festival called Wonderland.

Carpenter, also who executive produced Work It, is producing the new Alice musical under her At Last Productions banner. She’s teaming up with Leslie Morgenstein and Elysa Dutton from Alloy Entertainment, the production company behind Work It and the hit TV series You. Ross Evans will write the Alice screenplay.

The upcoming fantasy musical is the latest Netflix project for Carpenter, who also appeared in the streamer’s Tall Girl movie before taking on the lead role in Work It this summer. The actress, who has been working since 2011, has previously starred in Disney Channel’s Girl Meets World, 2018 drama The Hate You Give, and the Broadway Mean Girls musical from Tina Fey. Carpenter, who has a record deal with Hollywood Records, has also released multiple hit singles over the years, so it’s likely we’ll be hearing her belt out a few tunes in the new musical.

Alice is the latest in a long string of “Alice in Wonderland” adaptations. The original story was published in 1865, but its twisted fantasy tale has continued to captivate audiences over the decades. The most popular recent take on Carroll’s novel comes from Tim Burton, who directed the 2010 Alice in Wonderland film starring Mia Wasikowska and Johnny Depp. Burton followed up his film with a 2016 sequel, Alice Through the Looking Glass. While we’ve seen plenty of takes on the “Alice in Wonderland” story by now, turning Wonderland into a musical festival is a fresh one we never saw coming.
