Girl Group is an upcoming film written and directed by Rebel Wilson. She is also the co-producer along with Matt Williams. Its official synopsis, as per Letterboxd, is:
A pop diva who’s been kicked out of her own group’s reunion tour and slapped with a community service court order. She seizes the chance to stage a comeback by coaching a group of misfit teen girls for a major record label audition, only to push them too far, forcing her to confront her toxic industry — and her own streak of self-destruction.
One of the most recognizable characters from HBO’s The White Lotus, Jennifer Coolidge, has joined the film’s cast.
