Following a bidding war against several studios, Deadline brings word that 20th Century Studios has successfully won the rights to Gloria Sanchez Productions’ untitled comedy film, starring Golden Globe winners Sandra Oh and Awkwafina as each other’s sisters.
It’s unclear why Netflix decided to exit the project, but the outlet’s sources note that 20th Century Studios are currently prioritizing its development.
Sara Shepard will be overseeing the project on behalf of the 20th Century Studios.
The project was originally set up at Netflix when the streamer was the first one to acquire the rights last year.
