Kiernan Shipka, Cole Sprouse Team Up for Rom-Com "Goodbye Girl"

Kiernan Shipka (The Last Showgirl) and Cole Sprouse (The Rivals of Amziah King) are teaming up for "Goodbye Girl," an Amazon MGM Studios rom-com from Gulfstream Pictures that enters production in New Orleans this week.

Marking director Oran Zegman‘s follow-up to "Honor Society," the Paramount+ coming-of-age comedy — also starring Angourie Rice and Gaten Matarazzo — follows "Jess (Shipka), who’s a professional heartbreaker. Literally. When she’s hired by a cowardly bride to dump her groom (Sprouse) days before their wedding, she not only fumbles the job… but falls hopelessly in love."

The script was written by Danielle Hoover and David Monahan, based on a story by Hoover, Monahan, and Jessica Elbaum.

Mike Karz and William Bindley of Gulfstream provided some financing and are producing, alongside Dawn Bierschwal and Ryan Lewis of The RAD Lab and Daniel Wagner.

Currently appearing in the fourth season of HBO Max’s Industry, Shipka will next be seen starring alongside Dave Franco and O’Shea Jackson Jr. in "The Sh**heads," a comedy from Macon Blair that just premiered at Sundance.

She was recently seen in the films "Longlegs," "Totally Killer," and the critically acclaimed "The Last Showgirl".

Sprouse will next be seen opposite Matthew McConaughey in "The Rivals of Amziah King,"'a crime thriller that premiered at last year’s SXSW Film Festival. Previous film credits include Five Feet Apart, Lisa Frankenstein and Moonshot.

"Goodbye Girl" marks the fifth Gulfstream title picked up by Amazon MGM, following "Pretty Lethal," starring Uma Thurman and Lana Condor; "Upgraded," starring Camila Mendes; "The Other Zoey," starring Josephine Langford and Drew Starkey; and "One Fast Move," starring KJ Apa.
