Can you imagine having Allison Janney, Mila Kunis, Awkwafina and Regina Hall in the same movie? Well, you no longer have to because we’ll get to see what that looks like first-hand in their upcoming project Breaking News in Yuba County.

Allison Janney, who unleashed her full power with her Oscar-winning turn in I, Tonya, will take the lead as a woman who uses the death of her cheating husband to become a local celebrity.

Mila Kunis will play her half-sister and local news anchor who always enjoys a juicy story, but Regina Hall will give them hell as a detective who can tell there’s something off about this whole case.

To make the whole thing even better, Breaking News in Yuba County will also star Awkwafina (Crazy Rich Asians), Samira Wiley (Orange Is the New Black), Juliette Lewis (August: Osage County), Ellen Barkin (Animal Kingdom) and Wanda Sykes (Bad Moms).

This intriguing dramedy will be directed by Tate Taylor, and it’s scheduled to start shooting in Mississippi next month.
