People Editorial Guidelines Published on June 11, 2020 04:19PM EDT Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams are ready to prove the haters wrong in Netflix's upcoming Eurovision movie. The two star in Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, which follows Icelandic musicians Lars Erickssong (Ferrell) and Sigrit Ericksdottir (McAdams), members of the fictional band Fire Saga, as they are given the once-in-a-lifetime chance to represent their country at the world’s biggest song competition. But with the first trailer premiering on Thursday, it's clear the two aren't exactly a popular choice "Ever since we were children, we've had one dream," McAdams' Sigrit says at the beginning of the trailer. "Winning the Eurovision Song Contest," Ferrell's Lars chimes in. Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams in Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga.

The Eurovision Song Contest, which started broadcasting in 1956, is an annual song competition between around 50 countries, primarily from Europe, where countries submit original songs chosen to represent their nations at the finals in front of an international panel of judges. The contest has launched the careers of musicians like ABBA, Celine Dion, and Johnny Logan. Also starring in the movie are Demi Lovato, What We Do in the Shadows star Natasia Demetriou and Fleabag's Jamie Demetriou.
