Jennifer Westfeldt (Kissing Jessica Stein) wrote the screenplay, with Michael Showalter (The Big Sick) as director. Cathy Schulman will produce for Welle Entertainment, which is developing the film with Amazon Studios.

The project will begin production in October.

Galitzine will also star in the Prime Video romantic comedy Red, White & Royal Blue, based on the Casey McQuiston novel.
