Happy Endings star Eliza Coupe, Our Flag Means Death and Flight of the Conchords' Rhys Darby and The Mindy Project's Beth Grant have joined the female buddy comedy. What Now is inspired by the real-life friendship of Health-Ade Kombucha founder Daina Trout and internet personality Sharzad Kiadeh, both of whom star in the film and executive produce. It centers on a burned-out protein bar CEO and a canceled TV host who, per the logline, "collide at a desert wellness retreat. Fueled by breast milk smoothies and grief, they form an unlikely bond, rediscovering purpose, resilience-and a little sparkle-along the way."
