Joey King stars as a teenager dealing with young love and loss in the new Paramount+ original film “The In Between.” But this is no ordinary romance.

They hired me to write it and then I sort of went back and forth and was writing them at the same time, and they were informing each other.”Director Arie Posin helped Klein develop both his book, which was published June 1, 2021, as well as the script, fleshing out the overall idea of the intertwined story. The crux of “The In Between” follows Tessa (King), a teenager recently released from the foster system, as she focuses on photography as a creative outlet.
