“Yall, Will Ferrell made me a cake…from scratch,” she captioned the video. “It looks completely professional and store bought so I’m not at all suspicious that he baked it himself in all of his free time #netflixisajoke #eurovisionmovie.” Demi’s role on the film has yet to be confirmed. However, the Sorry Not Sorry singer is already hard at work on the set in London. As a singer and actress, fans can count on seeing her flex her vocal cords in the film.

The comedy, which also stars Pierce Brosnan, and Dan Stevens, will follow a pair of Icelandic musicians (Will and Rachel) who will represent their country in the world’s biggest song competition – the Eurovision song contest. Eurovision will mark the first time Demi returns to the small screen since she starred in Disney’s Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam in 2010. Prior, the Echeme la Culpa singer had roles in Camp Rock, Princess Protection Program and As the Bell Rings. Demi’s role in Eurovision will also mark her first major project since her near-fatal overdose in 2018.
