While the official logline for the upcoming film remains undisclosed, the influence of Notting Hill suggests a story filled with the quintessential rom-com flavor of the 90s.

The 1999 romantic comedy starred Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant.

To bring this vision to life, Katie Silberman has been roped in as the writer, per Deadline. She is known for her work on Netflix's Set It Up and for co-writing and producing Olivia Wilde's Booksmart, which earned accolades for its screenplay.

This new rom-com project will be produced under Bernad's Middle Child Productions banner with Alice Kang and Lisa serving as executive producers.
