Mandy Moore, best known to screen audiences as one of the stars of NBC’s This Is Us, has joined comedian Nate Bargatze in The Breadwinner, a comedy feature that Eric Appel is directing for TriStar Pictures.

Additionally, up and comers Stella Grace Fitzgerald (Rebel Moon), Birdie Borria (The Fabelmans) and Charlotte Ann Tucker (Thunderbolts*) have joined the cast to play the onscreen couple’s daughters in the film.

Bargatze, one of the world’s top touring comedians, co-wrote the script and is producing the film with Dan Lagna. Former Marvel Studios exec Jeremy Latcham will also produce for Wonder Project.

The story sees the life of Bargatze’s character turned upside down when his supermom wife, played by Moore, lands a deal on Shark Tank. The lifelong breadwinner of the family becomes a stay-at-home dad, and quickly realizes he’s in way over his head.
