Bryant has earned four Emmy nominations in her career, including supporting actress in a comedy for her work on SNL. She recently signed an overall deal with Universal Television, where she is developing the TV series Lonely Hearts Club, which Ari Aster is producing for Peacock. Under the multiple-year pact, Bryant will develop and produce new projects for the studio.

The nominations for the 39th edition of the Independent Spirit Awards will be announced on Dec. 5. The winners, voted on by Film Independent members, will be revealed at the awards show on Feb. 25, 2024 in Santa Monica, an event to be streamed live on the IMDb and Film Independent’s YouTube channels and other social media platforms.

“Through her humor, skill and seemingly endless supply of energy she has been entertaining audiences for years, and we can’t wait to see what she has in store for us as we celebrate independent artists on February 25,” Josh Welsh, president of Film Independent, said in a statement on Thursday.

Bryan’s credits also include UTV’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt for Netflix, IFC’s Portlandia and Documentary Now as well as Comedy Central’s Broad City and a recurring role on HBO’s Girls. On the feature side, her résumé includes The Big Sick and I Feel Pretty. 

The production team for the 2024 awards show includes Eddie Delbridge of Live Digital Entertainment, Shawn Davis, Danielle Federico and Andrew Schaff.
