The film follows a group of actors and actresses stuck inside a pandemic bubble at a hotel attempting to complete a film. The pic couldn’t be more timely as more and more productions are ramping back up even as Covid-19 remains in full effect around the world.

Once Netflix boarded the project, it quickly was fast-tracked with a plan to start shooting at the top of 2021. The plan also always has been to deliver a cast that rivals previous A-list ensembles like those for The Disaster Artist and Knives Out, and Apatow looks to have delivered that here.

Gillan is repped by UTA and B-Side Management; Armisen is repped by WME, Brillstein Entertainment Partners and Morris Yorn; Duchovny is represented by WME, Mosaic and Nelson Davis; Pascal is repped by WME, Anonymous Content and Jackoway Austen Tyerman; Bakalova is repped by CAA; Key is repped by UTA and Brecheen, Feldman, Breimer, Silver & Thompson, Serafinowicz is repped by UTA and 3 Arts Entertainment; Mann is repped by CAA; and Apatow is represented by UTA, Mosaic and Ziffren Brittenham.
