The project comes from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/t\/new-regency\/\" id=\"auto-tag_new-regency_1\" data-tag=\"new-regency\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New Regency<\/a>, which produced the film, and co-studios 20th Television and UCP. Sascha Rothchild (XO, Kitty, GLOW) is writing the updated take.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tRather than focus on two dueling brides-to-be, this Bride Wars will focus on a pair of wedding planners. Roberts will play a big-city wedding planner who moves to a small town in North Carolina, setting off \u201can epic showdown with a beloved local planner,\u201d per the show\u2019s logline. \u201cAs the two women battle to plan the same wedding, their rivalry quickly escalates into a larger clash over friendship, community, and, ultimately, love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tBride Wars was released in January 2009 to mostly negative reviews, but it pulled in a decent box office haul of about $115 million worldwide. Gary Winick directed the film, which was written by Greg DePaul, Casey Wilson and June Diane Raphael. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tRoberts\u2019 recent credits include FX\u2019s American Horror Story: Delicate, the 2023 feature Maybe I Do and Prime Video\u2019s 2024 comedy Space Cadet, which she also executive produced.
