Peyton Elizabeth Lee and Milo Manheim pair up for the new teen rom-com movie “Prom Pact,” airing on Disney Channel March 30, 2023, and on Disney+ the following day.
The Story
It’s the height of prom season, and high school senior Mandy Yang (Lee), and her best friend and fellow outsider Ben (Manheim), are surrounded by over-the-top ’80s-themed Promposals.
However, Mandy is keeping her eyes focused on a different goal: her lifelong dream of attending Harvard. When she finds out that she has been put on the waitlist, she is determined to do whatever she can do to get herself accepted, even if that means asking for help from the one person she abhors – popular all-star jock Graham Lansing (Blake Draper) whose father is a powerful senator and Harvard alum.
Once Mandy becomes Graham’s tutor, she begins to realize there’s more to him than she thought, and perhaps something more to life than Harvard.
