Apple TV confirmed today that Zoë Kravitz will headline an untitled original film from writer‑director Megan Park. The project joins Kravitz’s recent work on the platform’s series The Studio and marks her second collaboration with Park, whose indie breakout My Old Ass earned multiple awards. Apple secured the rights after outbidding major studios in a heated acquisition battle.

The film will be produced by LuckyChap, the Margot Robbie‑led company that also backs Park’s previous titles. Industry sources say the story follows a woman who discovers her boyfriend’s hidden family, thrusting her into a reluctant caretaking role—a premise likened to Adam Sandler’s *Big Daddy* and Julia Roberts’ *Step Mom*. No release window or theatrical plan has been announced.

Apple’s aggressive acquisition underscores its strategy to deepen original film offerings amid stiff competition from Netflix, Amazon and Warner Bros. By attaching a high‑profile star like Kravitz and a proven indie talent, the service hopes to attract subscribers seeking fresh, star‑driven narratives. The untitled movie will stream on Apple TV+, which currently costs $12.99 per month, adding another potential draw for the platform.
