We have also learned some story and production details which you can check out below.

The film is set in a ‘gothic, mystical, magical world of fairy godmothers in a parallel universe’ and focuses on a young fairy godmother trying to help a single working mother find her “happily ever after”! Filming is expected to begin in October-March in Boston.
