In a statement accompanying the announcement, Ramsey expresses why this project is so important to her.

“With the current repeal in women’s rights across the world, particularly regarding the overturning of Roe v Wade in America, this story, with its themes of stolen motherhood and unaccounted sexual abuse, feels more important than ever.”

Moore is an extremely accomplished performer and has earned countless accolades thanks to roles in films like Boogie Nights, The Kids Are All Right, and the final two Hunger Games films. Most recently, Julianne Moore starred alongside Ben Platt in Dear Evan Hansen. Up next, the Oscar winner will star in A24’s Sharper. Meanwhile, Oh recently starred in and produced the upcoming dramedy series The Chair. Additionally, the Killing Eve actress will join Awkwafina in a new comedy in the works for Netflix.
