Kendrick is joined in the cast by the breakout star of Marvel’s Loki Wunmi Mosaku. Additionally, Hemlock Grove star Kaniehtiio Horn and Charlie Carrick (Reign) appear on the film’s call sheet as well.  The Rest of Us screenwriter Alanna Francis penned the movie’s screenplay with Katie Bird Nolan (White Lie) and Sam Tipper-Hale (Kick-Ass 2) on board to executive produce alongside Anna Kendrick.

Kendrick achieved a bevy of recognition for Up in the Air, which earned her an Academy Award. Most recently, Kendrick leads the cast for Netflix’s sci-fi thriller Stowaway. Up next, the actress will lead the cast of Netflix’s surreal Rodney & Sheryl, based on a true story. Meanwhile, Wunmi Mosaku continuously churns out show-stealing performances in Marvel’s Disney+ series Loki. The actresses’ additional acting credits include roles in Batman v.
