Pack your bags: Production is officially underway on Women Like Us, the new Netflix original dramedy starring Whoopi Goldberg, Jenifer Lewis, Vanessa Williams, and Vivica A. Fox.
The all-star group is heading to the Hamptons for a weekend away, but they’ll be bringing plenty of laughs and emotional baggage along for the trip. Directed by Tasha Smith (Mayor of Kingstown, ’Tis So Sweet), the upcoming dramedy follows a recently widowed woman who is dragged to the Hamptons by her lifelong best friends and sister on what should have been her 30th wedding anniversary. The weekend becomes a reckoning with grief, marriage, and the sisterhood that’s carried them throughout the years — as well as the realization that dreams don’t have an expiration date.
The cast includes:
Ali Kinney (Ginny & Georgia, Love Life, The Crossover) wrote the screenplay, with writing from Tracy Oliver (Girls Trip, The Sun Is Also a Star, The Blackening). James Lopez and Poppy Hanks will produce for MACRO Film Studios, alongside Anikah McLaren and Mark R. Wright for Higher Ground. Michelle Obama will executive produce for Higher Ground, with Charles D. King executive producing for MACRO Film Studios.
Now that production has begun, this girls’ trip is officially one step closer to hitting the road. Keep checking back here for more Women Like Us updates.
