Here's what we know so far from Fox's exclusive interview with Varietyabout the project: Fox will star as an affluent pregnant woman falling in love with a woman played by Ashley Moore (I Know What You Did Last Summer, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping). Their situation is complicated greatly by the setting, a charming but rundown mountain town resort in California during a time when climate change has contaminated the water supply. It's also further complicated by Fox's impending birth and the two's differing values surrounding the state of the world.
Fox and Moore will be joined by newcomer Micaela Wittman who will play a local who tries to guide Moore through her turbulent affair with Fox. Also in talks to join the cast are nonbinary actor Lio Mehiel (Mutt) and Debi Mazar (Younger, Goodfellas).
Perfect will be the feature length directorial debut of Millicent Hailes. While this is her first full length film, Hailes has directed music videos for artists including Billie Eilish, Pussy Riot, Tinashe, and Alok Vaid-Menon. If her direction of Fletcher's "Becky's So Hot" is any indicator, viewers are in for a real treat with Perfect.
Nathan Scherrer and Tara Sheree of Freenjoy Productions, who produced Jennifer Lopez -- This is Me and Now: The Love Story, are signed on to produce, along with Liz Cardenas (A Ghost Story), and Douglas Riggs and Tyler Payne of Steak and Rosé.
While we wait impatiently for Perfect to arrive on our screens, you can see Fox in the upcoming ghost drama from Steven Soderbergh, Presence, where she will star opposite the incomparable Lucy Liu. Fox is also in a new sports horror thriller from Jordan Peele's Monkeypaw Productions simply titled Him.
