"It's fundamentally a story about family and how to survive them." 20th Century debuted a fun featurette for
Ella McCay, a new half political / half family comedy arriving to watch in theaters
in December. It's an inside look at making this new film. The first one directed by James L. Brooks since he made

Ella McCay, Emma Mackey stars as an idealistic young woman who juggles her family and work life. A comedy about the people you love and how to survive them. She will be taking over the job of her mentor, the state's longtime incumbent governor, and now starting a whole new life (in politics). The full ensemble cast features
Emma Mackey as the titular Ella McCay, along with
Jamie Lee Curtis,
Jack Lowden,
Kumail Nanjiani,
Ayo Edebiri,
Spike Fearn,
Rebecca Hall,
Julie Kavner,
