Living Out Loud and Freedom Writers filmmaker Richard LaGravenese is directing the movie from a screenplay he penned with Carrie Solomon.

"A surprising romance kicks off comic consequences for a young woman, her mother and her movie star boss as they face the complications of love, sex, and identity," the streaming service said in a synopsis Thursday.

Bates is known for her roles in Richard Jewell, American Horror Story, The Office, Primary Colors, Titanic and Misery.

Koshy stars in the web comedy, Liza on Demand.
