Kumail Nanjiani and Issa Rae are teaming up for the new romantic comedy The Lovebirds.
Michael Showalter, who directed Nanjiani in last year’s Oscar-nominated The Big Sick will helm the project, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Tom Lassally, Oly Obst, Todd Shulman, Jordana Mollick and Gero will produce, with Nanjiani, Rae and Showalter all serving as executive producers.
The script comes from Aaron Abrams, Brendan Gall and Martin Gero, which centers on a couple (Nanjiani and Rae) on the verge of ending their relationship.
