Quinta Brunson as Janine Teagues in the library in Abbott Elementary having a good day
The Big Picture Fresh from her latest Emmy nominations for writing and starring on Abbott Elementary, Quinta Brunson is set to take on her first big-screen lead role. Joining her will be Everything Everywhere All at Once breakout Stephanie Hsu. Deadline reports that the duo will star in Par for the Course, a new comedy from Universal.
Plot details for Par for the Course are being kept under wraps for now, although the title implies it may have something to do with the world of golf or miniature golf. The film comes from an original idea by Brunson, who will also co-write the script with longtime collaborator Justin Tan, who is the executive story editor on Abbott Elementary. Tan will also direct the film, which will be his big-screen directorial debut.
Who Are Quinta Brunson and Stephanie Hsu? Close Brunson first gained attention for her Instagram comedy bits, which landed her a gig with BuzzFeed Video. She subsequently wrote and starred in A Black Lady Sketch Show before creating and starring in the hit ABC sitcom Abbott Elementary.
Both Brunson and Hsu have worked with Rogen before. Brunson previously had a small role in the Rogen comedy An American Pickle., while Hsu starred in the Point Grey-produced comedy Joy Ride last year. Par for the Course will star Quinta Brunson and Stephanie Hsu; no release date has yet been announced. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
