20th Century Studios has revealed the trailer and poster for Quiz Lady, a hilarious and heartfelt comedy starring Awkwafina and Sandra Oh about a dysfunctional family and the game show which just might be the key to their salvation.
Quiz Lady will premiere November 3, 2023, exclusively on Hulu in the U.S., Star+ in Latin America, and Disney+ in all other territories. The original film will premiere at the 48th edition of the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday, September 9.
In Quiz Lady, 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 and written by Jen D’Angelo. Quiz Lady is rated R for some drug use and language.
The film’s producers include 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.
