Widow’s Bay breakout star Kate O’Flynn has joined Olivia Wilde’s upcoming film, Naughty, alongside Jamie Demetriou and Dexter Sol Ansell. This will mark Wilde’s fourth directorial feature since 2019.

The film will also star Jennifer Aniston, Peter Dinklage, Chase Sui Wonders and Ike Barinholtz. Regina Hall, Samara Weaving, Kate Berlant and John Early also star.

While character details for O’Flynn, Demetriou and Ansell remain under wraps, the films’ premise is not. Naughty follows Mallory (Aniston), whose only hope of securing custody of her son from her gaslighting trash-bag ex is to find Santa Claus (Dinklage) and convince him to testify in her divorce hearing. Jimmy Warden, who wrote Cocaine Bear, wrote the screenplay. LuckyChap is producing alongside Wilde and Warden, with Executive Vice President of Production Development Sara Scott and Director of Production Development Jacqueline Garell overseeing the project for Universal.
