Rachel Brosnahan Set to Star in Amblin's Life-Swap Dramedy Adaptation THE SWITCH

Rachel Brosnahan, best known for her Emmy and Golden Globe-winning role in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, has taken on a role in an adaptation of the novel The Switch by Beth O’Leary. The comedy/drama is being adapted by Bekka Bowling and is based on a “life-swap” story.

Variety reports the following synopsis:

The dramedy centers around a 29-year-old consultant, and her 79-year-old grandmother, who decide to swap lives (including cell phones) for two months, after a series of personal setbacks. The younger woman moves to a tiny Yorkshire village to tackle the responsibilities of dog walking and neighborhood watch and the older woman finds herself in a tiny London flat, navigating dating apps and starting up a social club for lonely Londoners.

Kristie Macosko Krieger (The Post, Bridge of Spies) will produce, and O’Leary will serve as executive producer alongside Brosnahan. The star was recently quoted about the project, saying:

“I am thrilled to be partnering with Amblin to bring Beth O’Leary’s beautiful book to life.” Brosnahan said in a statement. “I was utterly charmed and deeply moved from the first page to the last and can’t wait to share Leena and Eileen’s story with everyone.”

This sounds like a great project. Brosnahan is so hilarious and charming. I am excited to see her in another project while we wait for the next season of MMM! Does this sound like a story you’ll be interested in checking out?
