Cameron Diaz in Talks to Star in New Apple TV+ Comedy With Keanu Reeves

Cameron Diaz is in final negotiations to join Jonah Hill’s upcoming dark comedy, Outcome, joining Keanu Reeves, which will be released on Apple TV+.

The story of Outcome is a dark comedy that revolves around Reef, the main character portrayed by Keanu Reeves, a damaged Hollywood star. Reef is forced to confront his past after being blackmailed with a dark video from his past and is forced to confront his old demons.

Diaz, who took a break from acting in 2018 to focus on becoming a best-selling author and entrepreneur, will make her acting comeback. The last film she appeared in before announcing her retirement was Annie (2014), one decade ago, so her gracing of our screens has been long awaited.

Diaz will join Reeves, but her character’s role in the story is unknown. However, we already know that she excels in all of her comedy roles, so this is something that fans are already looking forward to tuning into.

Hill and Dines previously worked together on another project, the Netflix film You People (2023), with Hill as the lead actor and cowriter and Dines as the producer.
