The groundbreaking project marked the first solo financing venture from Erik Feig's company, Picturestart. Johnson wasn't the only big name attached to the project. The actress was joined by a lineup of talents including Sonoya Mizuno, Jermaine Fowler of "Coming 2 America," Whitmer Thomas, Molly Gordon, June Diane Raphael, Notaro herself, and Sean Hayes.

The plot revolved around best friends Lucy and Jane, convinced they knew all there is to know about each other. However, as Jane announces a move from LA to London, Lucy drops a bombshell secret.

"We are honored to bring Lauren's script to life with Tig and Stephanie at the helm. Paired with the top-notch producing team and incredible cast, we can't wait for production to begin on this heartwarming comedy that will resonate with audiences everywhere," Erik Feig had shared, expressing his anticipation for the project.
