Cast

Production

It was announced in June 2021 that Netflix had won the rights to the project. Jerry Seinfeld will direct, produce, co-write and star in the film, which is based on a joke he told about the creation of the Pop-Tart.[2] In June 2022, Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan, Amy Schumer, Hugh Grant, and James Marsden were among the newest additions to the cast.[3] In August, Maria Bakalova was announced for a cameo appearance.[4]

The production was granted a tax credit to film in California in February 2022.[5] Filming began on May 25, 2022, in Los Angeles, and was set to run until July 1.[6][7] Filming also took place at the University of California, Irvine.[8]

In November 2022, Seinfeld told the press that Netflix executives were watching the final cut of the movie for the first time, with a projected release in early 2023.[9]

Music

Christophe Beck will be providing the score for the film.[10]
