Actress Natalie Morales (Stuber) is set to make her directorial debut, as she has been tapped to direct the comedy Plan B for the Disney-owned Hulu.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film written by Prathi Srinivasan (Bunk’d) and Joshua Levy (iZombie) takes place after a regrettable first sexual encounter, when a straight-laced high school student and her slacker best friend have 24 hours to hunt down a Plan B pill in America’s heartland.
