Previously, Harry Styles was in talks to take on the role but unfortunately the singer turned down the role much to fans’ dismay.
But now, it looks like the remake of the animated classic has indeed found its Prince in Jonah instead.
Jonah will be starring opposite Halle Bailey as Ariel, Melissa McCarthy as the evil Ursula, Javier Badem as King Triton, and Daveed Diggs as Sebastian.

While we’re happy that the role of Prince Eric has finally been filled, some fans aren’t on board with the decision. All over the Twitterverse, fans are rejoicing, complaining and also asking the big question of “Who is Jonah Hauer-King?”
In case you didn’t know, Jonah is a relative newcomer but has had roles in the TV miniseries Little Women and Howard’s End as well as Sony’s A Dog’s Way Home.
The Little Mermaid is expected to begin production soon!
What are your thoughts on Jonah being cast as Prince Eric? Do you think he’s the perfect match?
