If you didn't get enough from Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell's undeniable and great chemistry in the Netflix original film Set It Up, looks like we'll be getting some more!
Except it won't be a Set It Up sequel.
On May 2, The Hollywood Reporter exclusively shared that Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell, who starred in Set It Up as two overworked assistants who decide to stage setting up their bosses (played by Lucy Liu and Taye Diggs) with each other, will be reuniting again for a brand new Netflix romantic comedy with the current working title Most Dangerous Game.
While this upcoming Netflix film, which will start production on early 2020, will not be a sequel to the very much fan-appreciated and critically acclaimed 2018 Netflix film (which currently holds a 91% Rotten Tomatoes score), it will reunite leads Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell yet again as well with Set It Up screenwriter Katie Silberman, who will produce the film along with Juliet Berman and Justin Nappi from Treehouse Pictures, who also produced Set It Up. Deutch and Powell are to also executive produce the 2020 film.
Although talks about a Set It Up sequel took place following the success of the Netflix film, including from Set It Up director Claire Scanlon herself who shared to have ideas for a potential sequel, and producer Justin Nappi noticed that "it was clear that audiences were clamoring for a sequel", he shared that collectively they are "excited by the thought of creating a new, distinct film that explores different romantic comedy tropes while still being anchored in everything that we loved about the first movie."
And the excitement for Most Dangerous Game was real, as not long following the news both Deutch and Powell posted on Instagram, with Powell even joking "Wow. [Zoey Deutch] and [Katie Silberman] will do anything to hang out with me again":
The plot of Most Dangerous Game is currently unknown - as well as whether or not Creepy Time will make a cameo in the film (keeping our fingers crossed for that) - just that it will be a romantic comedy film and it will be coming from Katie Silberman, who co-wrote this Valentine's Day debuting, rom-com defying film Isn't Romantic starring Rebel Wilson and Olivia Wilde's directorial debut Booksmart, which Silberman also produced and will hit theaters at the end of this month.
Most Dangerous Game will be Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell's third film collaboration having previously starred in the 2016 film Everybody Wants Some!! and Set It Up, and we approve any future collaborations!
But until Most Dangerous Game hits our TV screens (or phone screen like I use whenever I need to watch The Office on the go), we still have Set It Up to re-watch and catch feelings from all over again and Booksmart hitting theaters on May 24. I'm cool with that.
Sincerely, a very excited Dora Goto
