Golden Globe winner Jennifer Garner has signed on to produce and star in the movie "Family Leave", a Netflix family comedy based on author Amy Krouse Rosenthal's book "Bedtime For Mommy".

Victoria Strouse adapted the screenplay. The movie marks the second collaboration between Garner and Netflix.

The actress and streamer collaborated for the first time in the comedy movie "Yes Day", which was also based on a novel by Rosenthal, and arrives on March 12.

The plot revolves around the Brenners who wake up to a full family body switch and quickly realize the same thing has happened to a family on the other side of the world. They must team and determine how to undo the body switch before it is too late.

Garner will also appear in another Netflix sci-fi movie, "The Adam Project' starring Ryan Reynolds.
