According to THR, Pamela Adlon is set to direct a new comedy film with Ilana Glazer and Michelle Buteau leading the cast. The untitled film follows a pregnant woman (Glazer) who leans on her best friend (Buteau), who is married with kids, to help her through the changes in her life. The film is written by Glazer and Josh Rabinowitz. The latter of which worked on Glazer’s Comedy Central series, “Broad City,” as well as other shows such as “Ramy” and “The Carmichael Show.” 

As mentioned, Adlon is probably best known as the star, co-creator, producer, writer, and director of “Better Things,” a critically acclaimed comedy series from FX that ended its run earlier this year. She’s also been seen in front of the camera in a number of other projects including “Louie,” “The King of Staten Island,” “Holler,” and “Bumblebee.”
