20th Century studios has announced the start of production on an untitled comedy that has begun filming in Los Angeles and New Orleans, planned for release in Hulu’s 2023 films. The film stars Sandra Oh and Awkwafina as two sisters faced with finding a way to cover their mother’s gambling debts. Production is expected to end at late July.
Here’s the official synopsis:
The comedy follows a brilliant but tightly wound, gameshow-obsessed young woman, Anne (Awkwafina) and her estranged, train-wreck of a sister Jenny (Oh), who must work together to help cover their mother’s gambling debts. When Anne’s beloved dog is kidnapped, they set out on a wild, cross-country trek to get the cash the only way they know how: by turning Anne into a bona-fide gameshow champion.
