Powell is set to star while also co-writing the screenplay alongside Apatow, who will direct the project. The studio is treating the project as a priority release. However, production was unable to move forward this spring due to Powell’s busy schedule.

Apatow is producing through his Apatow Productions banner as part of his long-running deal with Universal. Powell and Dan Cohen are producing under Barnstorm’s first-look arrangement, alongside Kevin Misher of Misher Films. The project is being overseen at the studio level by Universal Senior EVP of Production Development Erik Baiers and Director of Production Development Jacqueline Garell.

In addition to the Universal comedy, she recently voiced a role in Netflix’s animated film In Your Dreams. She will appear opposite Topher Grace in the upcoming horror feature Buddy. She has also completed work on the pilot episode for FX’s drama series Seven Sisters.

Milioti is represented by UTA, Jackoway Austen, and The Lede Company.
