Hulu has officially set the cast for its newest comedy movie, which will serve as actress-turned-filmmaker Jillian Bell‘s feature directorial debut.

“It’s always been my dream to direct and I am thrilled to be telling a story about female friendship with a cast of the most talented and funny humans,” Bell said in a statement (via Deadline).
