Following HBO Max’s reimagining of the classic rom-com Father of the Bride, Netflix is cutting into the cake and taking a slice at its very own family-centered wedding feature titled Mother of the Bride. Today, Variety released the leading lineup, and to say it will be a star-studded guest list would be an understatement. Filling out the main cast will be Brooke Shields, Miranda Cosgrove, and Benjamin Bratt with an ensemble yet to be announced. The visionary eye behind classic teen dramedies including Mean Girls and He’s All That, Mark Waters will direct the feature with a script from The Princess Switch franchise scribe Robin Bernheim.
