Jennifer Garner to Star in and Produce Netflix Comedy "One Attempt Remaining"

Jennifer Garner has signed on to star in "One Attempt Remaining," a rom-com about cryptocurrency from "Blockers" director Kay Cannon for Netflix.

Garner is no stranger to the giant streamer, having starred in the company’s “Family Switch” and “Yes Day.”

The film follows a former couple who, years after their acrimonious divorce, learn that the cryptocurrency they won on a crazy night on a cruise is now worth millions, but they’ve forgotten the password. With only three days left before the account expires, they must retrace their steps that night, not just to find the password to their fortune, but also why they fell in love in the first place.

Cannon wrote the script with Joe Boothe and Alexa Alemanni.

Garner is best known for her work on ABC’s “Alias,” as well as her film appearances in “Juno,” “Love, Simon,” “Peppermint,” “The Adam Project,” “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day” and “13 Going on 30.” 

She will next appear in Peacock’s “The Five-Star Weekend” alongside Chloe Sevigny and Regina Hall. 

Garner will also produce “One Attempt Remaining” with 21 Laps’ Shawn Levy and Dan Levine, as well as Nicole King for Linden Productions. Exec producers include Cannon, 21 Laps’ Becca Edelman, Deanna Barillari, and Bergen Swanson.

Cannon created, wrote and produced the Netflix comedy-drama series “Girlboss” and also directed “Cinderella,” a retelling of the fairy tale with Camila Cabello and Billy Porter.
