The first Quiz Lady trailer is officially here, previewing the upcoming R-rated comedy from 20th Century Studios starring Sandra Oh and Awkwafina.
The trailer for Quiz Lady details the adventure that sisters Jenny (Oh) and Anne (Awkwafina) will go on in order to try and pay off their mother’s gambling debts. Alongside Oh and Awkwafina, the film also stars Jason Schwartzman, Holland Taylor, Tony Hale, Jon “Dumbfoundead” Park, and Will Ferrell.
“In the original film, a brilliant but tightly wound, gameshow-obsessed young woman, Anne, and her estranged, train-wreck of a sister Jenny, must work together to help cover their mother’s gambling debts,” reads the synopsis. “When Anne’s beloved dog is kidnapped, they set out on a wild, cross-country trek to get the cash the only way they know how: by turning Anne into a bona-fide gameshow champion.”
Described as a hilarious and heartfelt comedy, Quiz Lady is directed by Jessica Yu from a screenplay written by Jen D’Angelo. Joining Awkwafina and Oh are Jason Schwartzman, Holland Taylor, Tony Hale, and Will Ferrell, with the latter also serving as a producer.
In addition to starring, the Killing Eve vet and the Shang-Chi star are also producing the movie along with D’Angelo, Jessica Elbaum, Maggie Haskins, and Itay Reiss. Executive producers are Alex Brown and Erika Hampson.
