Kaling co-wrote the script with Brent Forrester. The pair is executive producing with Good Universe's Nathan Kahane and Joe Drake, as well as John Malkovich (Mr. Mudd Productions).

Hathaway will next appear on the big screen alongside Hugh Jackman in Tom Hooper's adaptation of The Musical Les Miserables, set for release this Christmas. Her stage credits include Children And Art on Broadway, Carnival! and Twelfth Night off-Broadway, and a regional UK production of The Woman in White.
