While the news of Jemima’s latest venture is making rounds on social media, no set date of the film’s release has been announced as yet. Some sources quoted that the movie would be out later in 2020 but seems like COVID-19 restrictions delayed the production phase.
It's taken 10 years & a million drafts to get here, but it was worth the wait as (Covid/God/Sod willing) I now get to work with all these legends. I am so bloody excited. And terrified. https://t.co/GOHLbWtKKO

An honourable resource lately reported that the film will be set around cross-cultural conflicts of love and marriage. It is expected that the movie will echo Jemima’s own personal experience. Other notable films produced under the same banner include 2019 Emmy-nominated The Case Against Adnan Syed and 2018 drama The Clinton Affair with producer credits to Jemima herself.
