Ayesha Curry Stars in First Leading Role in Holiday Rom-Com ‘Second Chance Holiday’
Ayesha Curry will headline the holiday romantic comedy “Second Chance Holiday,” which premieres Nov. 5 on The Roku Channel, marking her first leading film role.
In the film, Curry plays Chelsey, a dating expert determined to break her so-called “curse” of always getting dumped during the holiday season. Fate reunites her with her high school sweetheart, played by Matthew Daddario, leaving her to question whether her bad luck is the universe guiding her back to her first love. The Roku Channel promoted the film Tuesday with a trailer and poster, describing Chelsey heading home for a fresh start after a string of Christmas breakups.

Curry, the wife of Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry, cookbook author, entrepreneur and mother of four, previously had small roles as a teenager on shows including “Hannah Montana” and “Good Luck Charlie.” She later appeared in supporting parts in the 2024 Netflix film “Irish Wish,” the Hulu movie “Joy to the World” and a voice role in the 2026 animated feature “Goat.” Casting for “Second Chance Holiday” was first announced in July.
“It’s an honor to be part of Second Chance Holiday alongside such a talented cast and crew,” Curry said in a statement at the time of the casting announcement. “There’s something truly magical about holiday rom-coms. They invite you into these charming, cozy worlds where anything feels possible. Chelsey is such a fun, heartfelt character that I fell in love with while bringing her to life. I hope audiences fall in love with her too and enjoy Second Chance Holiday this holiday season.”
“Second Chance Holiday” is available for free with ads on The Roku Channel beginning Thursday, Nov. 5.
