Universal Pictures has announced Par for the Course, a new comedy starring Emmy winner Quinta Brunson and Oscar nominee Stephanie Hsu.

The film is set to be produced by Seth Rogen’s production company, Point Grey, and will be directed by Abbott Elementary writer Justin Tan in his feature directorial debut. This marks a significant collaboration between Hollywood’s most prominent rising stars and established comedic talent.

Lately, Brunson, who has garnered widespread acclaim for her work on Abbott Elementary, will also serve as a producer on the film through her production company, Fifth Chance. Her involvement in the creative and production aspects of Par for the Course underscores her growing influence in the entertainment industry. The project continues to build on Brunson’s momentum following her historic Emmy win, making her one of the most sought-after talents in Hollywood today.

Furthermore, Par for the Course is expected to be a fresh and hilarious take on the world of golf, with Brunson and Hsu starring in lead roles that will surely showcase their comedic prowess. Hsu, who gained critical acclaim for her role in Everything Everywhere All at Once, will bring her dynamic acting skills to the project, adding to the film’s potential for success. 

The film’s plot details remain under wraps, but with Brunson, Hsu, and Tan’s combined talents, audiences can expect a unique and engaging comedy.

Also, Seth Rogen’s Point Grey has a strong track record of producing successful comedies, including hits like Superbad and Neighbors. With Rogen’s production company backing the project, Par for the Course is poised to become another memorable addition to the comedy genre. 

A notable aspect of the production is Justin Tan’s involvement as the director, transitioning from television to feature films. Tan’s work on Abbott Elementary has been praised for its sharp wit and heartfelt humor, and his directorial debut in the feature film space is highly anticipated.

As Universal Pictures continues to develop Par for the Course, the film is already generating buzz for its promising cast and creative team. Brunson, Hsu, Tan, and Point Grey‘s collaboration is expected to deliver a comedy that resonates with audiences and adds to the impressive portfolios of everyone involved. 

Although the film’s release date has not yet been announced, it will surely be one of the most anticipated comedies of the coming year.
