Netflix announced on Wednesday it has picked up U.S. and international rights to ?Dumplin,? a comedic drama starring Jennifer Aniston and ?Patti Cakes$? star Danielle Macdonald.
The film, directed by Anne Fletcher (?The Proposal,? ?27 Dresses?), is about the plus-size, teenage daughter (Macdonald) of a former beauty queen (Aniston), who signs up for her mom?s pageant as a protest that escalates when other contestants follow her footsteps, revolutionizing the pageant and their small Texas town.
The script was written by Kristin Hahn, adapted from the New York Times bestselling novel of the same name by author Julie Murphy. ?Dumplin'? also stars Odeya Rush (?Lady Bird,? ?Goosebumps?), Dove Cameron (?Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,? ?Liv and Maddie?) Harold Perrineau (?Lost?), Bex Taylor-Klaus and Ginger Minj.
