Even though their kiss at the MTV Movie and TV Awards might have only lasted a few seconds, fans can catch more of the "chemistry" between Rae and Buchanan when "He's All That" premieres on Netflix in August.
While the original "She's All That" revolved around popular jock Zack (played by Freddie Prinze Jr.) taking "nerdy" artist classmate Laney Boggs (played by Rachel Leigh Cook) to prom after giving her a makeover, the gender-swapped "He's All That" switches it up a little by having Addison Rae play a teen influencer who gives a less-popular classmate (Buchanan) a makeover.
