The news comes after Lawrence was confirmed for Apple TV+'s The Wives, described as a murder mystery inspired by Real Housewives.
Like Why Don't You Love Me?, Lawrence will also produce, with Michael Breslin and Patrick Foley set to write the screenplay.

"I'll never forget, I was freaking out about the guests being cold. All my friends were lying, they were like: 'nobody's cold, everything is fine'. My mum was like: 'it's freezing out there, my grandmother almost died'."
