A Star Is Born is coming, don't worry.

The Toronto International Film Festival has unveiled its upcoming roster of films, which includes the North American premiere of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's A Star Is Born.

The festival, which takes place in September, will see the premiere of Barry Jenkins' James Baldwin adaptation If Beale Street Could Talk as well as Damien Chazelle's Ryan Gosling-led First Man, marking both directors' followups to their Best Picture hot contenders (in Jenkins' case, winner) from two years back.
