Amy Schumer stands as a prominent figure in the realm of entertainment, seamlessly blending her razor-sharp wit with incisive commentary on modern-day topics. Bursting onto the comedy scene through ‘Last Comic Standing’ in 2007, Schumer’s ascent in the industry was nothing short of spectacular. Her sketch comedy series, ‘Inside Amy Schumer,’ which premiered on Comedy Central in 2013, garnered critical acclaim and even bagged Primetime Emmy Awards. However, it was her semi-autobiographical romantic comedy film ‘Trainwreck’ in 2015 that truly solidified her position as a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood.
Amy Schumer, however, didn’t pigeonhole herself into the comedic sphere alone. She ventured into more nuanced roles, clinching a Tony Award nomination for her evocative performance in the Broadway spectacle ‘Meteor Shower.’ Schumer’s unique blend of humor and her ability to tackle serious subjects with a comedic twist has made her a favorite among audiences worldwide. Her works often resonate with many, making them eagerly anticipate her next project. For those who have been charmed by Schumer’s wit and are curious about her upcoming ventures. Here’s a list of all upcoming movies and TV shows of Amy Schumer.
1. Kinda Pregnant (TBA)
Directed by Tyler Spindel and written by Julie Paiva, ‘Kinda Pregnant’ is an upcoming Netflix comedy drama. It follows Lainy (Schumer), who gets jealous of her best friend’s pregnancy and starts wearing a fake baby bump, and accidentally falls in love. Co-starring alongside Schumer are Jillian Bell, Will Forte, Damon Wayans Jr., and Brianne Howey. The film has wrapped production and is awaiting a release on the OTT platform.
2. Untitled Jennifer Lawrence/Amy Schumer Project (TBA)
The untitled Jennifer Lawrence/Amy Schumer project is an upcoming comedy movie that is being penned by both Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer. Announced with much fanfare back in 2015, the duo has set out to craft a screenplay where they portray sisters with contrasting personalities. One is a meticulous ‘type A’ individual who harbors a lifelong dream of becoming a flight attendant, while the other is a disorganized mess. With such divergent personalities, the film is poised to explore the hilarities and hiccups that arise from their interactions.
Schumer is set to star alongside Lawrence, with Charles Barber also joining the ensemble. Schumer’s dynamic with Lawrence, both on and off-screen, is eagerly anticipated, making the project a hot topic among cinephiles. Jennifer Lawrence, when asked about the project’s lengthy development process in June 2023, candidly remarked on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, “OK, if you know anything about me and Amy, it’s that we are lazy.” “It’s not that it’s off — it’s on. It’s just going at our pace,” the actress further added. Given the excitement and anticipation, the movie’s release is eagerly awaited, but an official date remains unannounced.
