According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hill and Barris have teamed up to co-write the script for the movie which marks the reunion between Murphy and Barris.

As per The Hollywood Reporter, plot details of the project are being kept under the wraps. It is touted to be an incisive examination of modern love and family dynamics and how clashing cultures, societal expectations and generational differences shape and affect relationships.
