Meet Pierson Fode: The New Netflix Hunk Taking Over from Zac Efron!

New hunk Pierson Fode, 33, is gracing the screen in the upcoming Netflix rom-com The Wrong Paris - which is set to hit the streaming site later this year on September 12

Netflix's Hottest New Hun: Pierson Fode Sizzles on Set of Upcoming Rom-Com "The Wrong Paris"

Get ready for a swoon-worthy summer with Netflix's latest rom-com, "The Wrong Paris", starring the dashing Pierson Fode and none other than Nickelodeon sweetheart, Miranda Cosgrove! The sizzling on-screen chemistry between these two leads has fans buzzing, and we can't help but join in on the excitement.

Fode, a 33-year-old heartthrob, is set to steal hearts as the leading male love interest in "The Wrong Paris", which drops on Netflix on September 12. But don't think this is his first rodeo - our Pierson has been charming audiences for years with roles in shows like "iCarly" and "The Bold And The Beautiful". Talk about a small-screen sweetheart!

The actor is portraying the leading male heartthrob in the movie, which also stars former Nickelodeon actress Miranda Cosgrove

This dashing duo reunited after their initial collaboration in an episode of "iCarly" back in 2012. Who knew that these two would go on to become the ultimate #couplegoals? Fode's rugged good looks have won over even the most discerning viewers, and we're betting fans will be swooning hard once they see him sizzle on screen.

Behind-the-Scenes Scoop

New images from the film have been released, giving us a sneak peek into Pierson's ripped physique (hello, abs!). But don't worry, folks - it's not all about looks; these two are seriously talented actors who bring their A-game to every scene. In an interview with People, Fode gushed about his childhood on a farm in Washington State, saying, "Playing Trey felt like playing a version of myself...just with more cameras and fewer early-morning feeding." Charming, much?

Fode - who was reportedly in the running to be cast as the Superman back in 2023 - has joined other Netflix hunks, such as Zac Efron who appeared in A Family Affair last year (seen above)

Netflix's Next Big Thing

Joining Pierson and Miranda are an impressive cast, including Madison Pettis, Torrance Coombs, Madeleine Arthur, and Frances Fisher. With the likes of Zac Efron and Naomi Scott already making waves on Netflix, we're betting this rom-com will be a huge hit.

Sizzling Social Media Snaps

New images from the film have been released on Tuesday and include Pierson showing off his ripped physique while on set

Fans went wild when Netflix dropped the first look snap in June - one follower even labeled both Pierson and Miranda as "gorgeous"! We can't help but agree; those two have undeniable chemistry. Meanwhile, Fode's Instagram followers (1 million strong!) are already fawning over him, calling him "Hollywood's favorite cowboy" and "too much hottness in one photo".

The Wrong Paris: A Rom-Com for the Ages

This fish-out-of-water story follows Miranda's character as she takes part in a dating show that turns out to be set in Texas (not Paris, France). With Fode by her side, it's safe to say this rom-com will have viewers laughing, crying, and cheering along.

Pierson's Rise to Fame

Fode has had quite the career trajectory - from modeling to TV roles in shows like "Jessie" and "The Bold And The Beautiful", to film appearances in "Naomi And Ely's No Kiss List" and "72 Hours". We can't help but wonder what's next for this talented hunk!

Janeen Damian Spills the Tea

Director Janeen Damian praised the on-screen chemistry between Pierson and Miranda, saying, "The sparks were there...not always a given." It seems these two really do have that special something.

Stay tuned for more updates on "The Wrong Paris" - we can't wait to see what's in store for this sizzling rom-com!

But fans began fawning over the actor late last year when he uploaded behind-the-scenes photos as he had a blast on set of The Wrong Paris

Fode and Cosgrove reunited for their leading roles in the upcoming Netflix movie after they first worked together in a 2012 episode of Nickelodeon's iCarly

He has appeared in Naomi And Ely's No Kiss List (2015), 72 Hours (2024) and The Man From Toronto (2022) - which also starred Kevin Hart, Woody Harrelson and Kaley Cuoco; seen in June in Universal City

'Playing Trey felt like playing a version of myself...just with more cameras and fewer early-morning feeding,' he told the outlet
