The upcoming Hulu original film starring Sandra Oh and Awkwafina has begun production and is set to premiere in 2023.
The comedy, which has not yet been titled, follows the lives of two estranged sisters who are forced to come together to pay off their motherâs gambling debts.
Anne, played by Awkwafina, is a brilliant, game show-obsessed woman, who must team up with her train-wreck sister, Jenny, played by Oh.Â
The two set off on a wild journey across the country in an effort to both find Anneâs stolen puppy and win cash prizes by turning Anne into a game show champion.
Shot in L.A. and New Orleans, the production is scheduled to wrap up on July 22 and will officially premiere next year on several streaming platforms globally: Hulu in the U.S., Star Plus in Latin America and Disney Plus in other countries.Â
The filmâs director Jessica Yu is known for NBCâs âThis is Us,â Netflixâs â13 Reasons Why,â ABCâs âGreyâs Anatomyâ and numerous documentaries.Â
Producers include the movieâs stars, Awkwafina and Oh, along with actors Will Ferrell, Jason Schwartzman, Holland Taylor and Tony Hale.
