Madelyn Cline set to team up with Glen Powell in comedy drama

Los Angeles, Jan 21 (UNI) Madelyn Cline is in advanced talks to headline a major studio comedy opposite Glen Powell in an untitled feature to be directed by Judd Apatow.
The film, an original concept developed at Universal, has been co-written by Apatow and Powell, with Cristin Milloti also attached to the cast, reports DEADLINE.
The comedy, slated for theatrical release on February 5, 2027, centres on Powell as a country-western music star whose career and personal life spiral into chaos.
Apatow will produce through his longstanding Apatow Productions overall deal with the studio, and Powell and Dan Cohen will produce through Barnstorm’s first-look deal. Kevin Misher will produce through Misher Films. Universal Senior EVP Production Development Erik Baiers and Director of Production Development Jacqueline Garell will oversee the project.
In the film, Cline will play a pop star; sources say Apatow and studio execs had been looking at real-life pop stars to play the part, but in recent weeks had opened up the audition process. Following Cline’s most recent meeting, the rising star blew away execs, we’re told, leading to an offer.
Cline’s star has been on the rise following her breakout performance in the Netflix series Outer Banks. The show returned for its fourth season in the fall, hit No. 1 immediately and was in Netflix’s Top 10 for more than seven weeks. She will return for the series’ fifth and final season to premiere in 2026.
Her recent film credits include Sony's reimagining of "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and Amazon's romantic drama "The Map That Leads to You", which debuted at number one on Prime Video.
Up next, she will appear opposite Johnny Depp and Penélope Cruz in Lionsgate’s Day Drinker for director Marc Webb.
