The movie continues Roberts' trend of starring in emotionally rich, female-driven projects. The American Horror Story alumna, who recently starred in Amazon MGM's Space Cadet and Maybe I Do, will lead another romantic book adaptation titled A Murder Uncorked.

Emma Roberts will also serve as a producer through her production company, Belletrist, alongside Karah Preiss and Matt Matruski. Her interest in literary adaptations is a defining feature of her production company and has helped bring numerous books to the screen, including Tell Me Lies and First Kill.
