They include Poetic License, written by Raffi Donatich, which would mark Maude Apatow’s feature directorial debut; How to Murder Your Life, written by Cat Marnell, who is also attached to executive produce; and Female Friendship, written and to be directed by Emily Rappaport with an eye toward Apatow starring. Michael P. Cohen and Lena Dunham’s Good Thing Going is also aboard to produce the last one in a reunion of the Girls co-stars.
According to sources, Apatow left UTA, where she had been for years, last week. She has a parent at each of the other big agencies; her father Judd Apatow left UTA for WME in May, and Leslie Mann is with CAA.
Apatow recently completed production on Amazon MGM’s holiday comedy Oh. What. Fun. for director Michael Showalter. She will also appear in the untitled TriStar buddy comedy from Issa Rae and is set to reprise her starring role as Lexi Howard on HBO’s Euphoria, which is slated to begin production on Season 3 in January.
Additional credits include the Netflix limited series Hollywood from Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, as well as a number of her father’s films, including the Pete Davidson starrer The King of Staten Island. Last year, Aparow made her professional stage debut off-Broadway in Little Shop of Horrors; she followed that performance up with a turn as Sally Bowles in a West End production of Cabaret. She continues to be managed by Molly Mandel and Paul Nelson at Mosaic and repped by Shelter PR.
