Alexandra Daddario and Finn Wittrock are set to lead the biopic “Hershey” about America’s first family in chocolate, Dandelion Media and the Hershey Company announced on Tuesday.
Coming from “Mean Girls” director Mark Waters with a screenplay by Sharon Paul and Timothy Michael Hayes, the film will follow Milton Hershey’s “rags-to-riches journey and his profound impact on the world,” per a press release.
The “American Horror Story” actor is set to play chocolatier Milton, while the “White Lotus” actress will play his philanthropist wife Kitty Hershey. Filming is set to begin in May — including on-location in Hershey, Pennsylvania — for a 2026 release.
