20th Century Studios’ ‘Quiz Lady’ with Awkwafina and Sandra Oh to Premiere Exclusively on Hulu
20th Century Studios’ Quiz Lady, directed by Jessica Yu and starring Golden Globe winners Awkwafina and Sandra Oh, will premiere November 3, 2023, exclusively on Hulu in the U.S., Star+ in Latin America, and Disney+ under the Star banner in all other territories.
In the original film, a brilliant but tightly wound, gameshow-obsessed young woman, Anne (Awkwafina), and her estranged, train-wreck of a sister Jenny (Oh), must work together to help cover their mother’s gambling debts. 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.
The movie, which also stars Jason Schwartzman, Holland Taylor, Tony Hale, and Will Ferrell, is directed by Jessica Yu, written by Jen D’Angelo, and produced by Will Ferrell, Jessica Elbaum, Maggie Haskins, Itay Reiss, Jen D’Angelo, Awkwafina, and Sandra Oh, with Alex Brown and Erika Hampson serving as executive producers.
20th Century Studios and Searchlight Pictures recently found Emmy Awards success with two of their direct to Hulu entries, Fire Island and Prey, were both nominated for Television Movie. Searchlight’s most recent Hulu film, Eva Longoria’s Flamin’ Hot, debuted in June.
