Jennifer Coolidge (“The White Lotus”) and Nicole Scherzinger have joined the cast of Rebel Wilson’s Girl Group, the new comedy now in production that Wilson is writing, directing, producing and starring in for Live Nation Studios and Future Artists Entertainment.
Scherzinger, fresh off her acclaimed run on the West End and Broadway of Sunset Boulevardand sold out headline performances at the Royal Albert Hall and Carnegie Hall, joins iconic two-time Emmy winner Jennifer Coolidge for the project which will see Wilson play a pop-diva who’s been kicked out of her own girl group’s reunion tour and slapped with a sentence of court-ordered community service who seizes the chance to stage a comeback by coaching a group of misfit teen girls for a major record label audition.
The ensemble cast also includes Randall Park (“WandaVision”, “Fresh off the Boat”), Sheridan Smith (“Mrs Biggs”, “Cilla”), Jamie Lee O’Donnell (“Derry Girls”, Leonard & Hungry Paul), comedian Guz Khan (“Man Like Mobeen”, “The Gentleman”) and Jolene (Star Trek: Enterprise) as well as Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts, Spice Girl Melanie Chisholm and All Saints’ Shaznay Lewis who will form girlband Girlfriends alongside Wilson’s character. Loren Gray will also star.
The film will also be produced by Wilson under her Camp Sugar banner, alongside Matt Williams of Future Artists Entertainment and executive produced by Live Nation Studios. Chris Scott (“Wicked”) is the choreographer.
